FIVE THINGS: Get Tickets To The Giants Parade

February 6, 2012

1. The Giants won the Super Bowl 21-17.

2. It might feel like a big holiday in New York, but alternate side parking is still in effect.

3. Today only, NYC is giving tickets away to tomorrow's Giants Pep Rally, or ticker-tape parade, between 9am-11a.m. Here's all the information you need.

4. As several members of our community have pointed out to me of late, remember that the Giants will be heralded in a parade tomorrow, while there are still no reported plans to honor Iraq veterans with one. The Pentagon cites security concerns. You can .

5. Tom Ridge says NYPD Commish Ray Kelly should not have to resign, amid calls from the Muslim group CAIR, according to NYDN. Kelly appeared in a controversial documentary later used for police training, called “The Third Jihad: Radical Islam’s Vision for America.”

Ridge, the former Secretary of Homeland Security under George Bush, was also interviewed for the film, he wrote in the Daily News.

The local, fresh fruit and vegetable market was a worthwhile addition to Douglaston. Obviously, itRead More did not receive the support of the community, at least not enough to make it a successful venture. This is sad. Every Sunday, rain or shine, I would stop at the market and purchase something. My favorite was the bakery stand. Often, when I stopped in the afternoon I would get two FREE French breads with my purchase. Parking was never a problem. The vendors where friendly and very informative. It was a perfect setting for the picturesque nature of this community. Too bad it is not returning.

Unfortunately, according to the Douglas Manor Association, the fresh fruit and vegetable market willRead More NOT return this year. No specific reason was given other than this was at the initiative of the merchants or the market's organizers. And this..., just as we were beginning to enjoy the Long Island wines and the $34 per pound skirt steak, ordered two months in advance.
