The New York Giants will be honored with a ticker-tape parade in Manhattan for the second time in four years tomorrow after winning the Super Bowl against the New England Patriots, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said.

The Giants beat the Patriots 21-17 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis yesterday in a rematch of the National Football League’s 2008 championship game. Bloomberg will present the team with keys to the city at the conclusion of the parade.

The parade will begin on Battery Place and Washington Street at 11 a.m. local time and continue through the financial district, an area known as the “Canyon of Heroes,” Bloomberg said in a statement. A ceremony will follow at City Hall Plaza.

The city will hold a public giveaway for half of the 500 spots available for the ceremony at City Hall Plaza for two hours starting at 9 a.m. today. Residents can access the entry form through the city’s website or the mayor’s Twitter page.

Three large screens around City Hall will allow members of the public to watch the ceremony. Streets will be closed between Broadway and Church from Canal to Pearl as will Brooklyn Bridge access to and from Park Row.

Other streets, including Spruce between Gold and Park Row, will be closed. There may be limited subway access in Lower Manhattan and the Fulton Street 4, 5, A and C will be closed, as will Wall Street 4 and 5 and City Hall R.

Travelers should use Rector Street R Station, Fulton, 2 and 3, and the South Ferry 1 Station. Commuters may also use the Chambers Street Brooklyn Bridge 4, 5, 6 and J station.

The mayor is the founder and majority owner of Bloomberg News parent Bloomberg LP.
