New York united behind blue Giants

The New York melting pot was overflowing in Lower Manhattan yesterday morning, all manner of people brought there by their champion football team.

The Wall Street suits don’t normally like sharing their turf with us common folk — particularly if it’s a movement like Occupy — but when the Vince Lombardi Trophy is being paraded up to City Hall by the New York Giants, they not only make an exception, they contribute to the fanfare.

The part of Broadway which arrows up through the Financial District is known as the Canyon of Heroes, stretching up to Chambers St where the heroes alight for City Hall.
