New York and New Jersey Salutes the Giants

In New York, the Giants were honored on Tuesday morning with a ticker tape parade and given the keys to the city by Mayor Bloomberg at City Hall.

The big party didn't stop there.

Later, they were honored in front of thousands of fans at MetLife Stadium in their home state of New Jersey.

Super Bowl XLVI - Giants Beat Patriots 21 - 17

The New York Giants are NFC Champions, beating the New England Patriot 21 - 17(final score).

Paterson's Victor Cruz scored a touchdown in the first half to go with the safety the Giants got on Brady, which proved to be needed late in the game.

The game changer was when Mario Manningham caught a pass from QB Eli Manning and managed to keep to both feet in bounds.

Ahmad Bradshaw scored the winning 6 yard touchdown(which the Patriots may have allowed in order to try and score a touchdown in the final seconds of the game). 

This is the fourth title won by "Big Blue" in the history of the organization. 

Here are a few highlights from Super Bowl XLVI...

Snacks are better when they're made in your own kitchen, and a soft pretzel is one of the best!

Homemade pretzels are tasty with or without lots of salt(or mustard), and they don't take much time to prepare and bake in the oven.

The Economy of the Super Bowl: Advertising

The commercials shown during the Super Bowl are just as entertaining as the game.

The audience who watches these advertisements has increased, and so has the cost.

Things the Super Bowl Won't Say

There are a few things the NFL won't tell you, like the cost of Super Bowl tickets(or how to get them without paying triple the cost) or the price of accommodations double in the hosting city.

They don't tell you crime is an issue, especially prostitution brought in by organized crime and others.

If you don't have a ticket by now, then the best way to watch Super Bowl XLVI may be at a Super Bowl Party...or at home!

This hot sub sandwich is made with thinly sliced steak, melted cheese(not from a can) and sauteed red onions on a sub roll.

This easy cheesesteak can be prepared in a skillet on your stovetop.

If you're not a meat eater, then try chicken breast.

It'll be just as tasty on game day.

Tip: For an appetizer at your next Super Bowl party place a smaller portion of cheesesteak(or chicken) and onions on smaller sub rolls(if you can't find smaller sub rolls at the local market, cut large roll into smaller sub rolls), then arrange them on the platter of your choice.
