Again, No Ticker-Tape Parade in N.Y.
NEW YORK — The Super Bowl champion New York Giants, for the second time in five years, will have no ticker-tape parade in Manhattan.
The office of Mayor David N. Dinkins said the city’s severe financial problems forestalled any chance of a parade. However, the city does want to salute the Giants with a more modest celebration Wednesday.
“Unfortunately, the city cannot afford a ticker-tape parade but the city will honor the Giants,†said Ruby Ryles, a spokeswoman for the mayor. “There will be a presentation on the steps of City Hall and the public is invited.â€
When the Giants, who play their home games in East Rutherford, N.J., won the Super Bowl in 1987, then-Mayor Ed Koch refused to celebrate a championship for a team that does not play in New York City.
