(When the Giants last won, in 1987, sourpuss Mayor Ed Koch wouldn't give them a parade as the team plays in New Jersey. Mike Bloomberg has no such qualms. He has also won a ridiculous bet with Boston Mayor Thomas Menino, which includes 42 pounds of Dunkin' Donuts coffee, 100 cups of clam chowder and 144 Boston cream pies.

The parade will follow the traditional route, beginning at the Museum of the American Indian on Bowling Green and ending at City Hall. If you want a good view, past parade goers recommend getting there early to secure a spot.

And while ticker tape may be a thing of the past, expect plenty of paper to float down from the office buildings along the route.
