That's where the New York Giants celebrated their amazing come-from-behind victory in Super Bowl 42 with one of our city's world-famous tickertape parades up Broadway's Canyon of Heroes.

The numbers really tell the story: 15 floats, 12 marching bands, and 11 doubledecker buses and convertibles paraded up Broadway. A sea of fans stretched as far as the eye could see. Some 36 tons of confetti fell from the sky. Ninety-six Keys to the City were presented to players, coaches, and management. Four-hundred-and-fifty volunteers tended to every detail. More than 500 press credentials were distributed to media outlets from all over the country. There were very few incidents of trouble or public disorder. And using my favorite number - 311 - we held a public lottery for tickets to the post-parade victory rally at City Hall. That's really the beauty of 341. It's innovative and adaptable, and lets us serve the public in new ways we never anticipated.
