New York City, New York: The city of New York has issued new guidelines for what can and cannot be tossed from highrise windows during a ticker tape parade. These guidelines come after the city announced that the New York Giants will be paraded down Broadway on Tuesday after their Super Bowl XLII win over the New England Patriots. The city decided to outline a plan after the New York Yankees ticker tape parade in 2000, as office workers were tossing chairs, coats, coinage and other heavy objects from windows. Arrests were made during that parade after officers were pelted with McDonalds cheeseburgers and nuggets, cassette tapes, underwear, Bialies, motorcycle parts, fig newtons, earthworms and thimbles.
You can view the plan at www.nyc.gov, or by calling 311, and saying, "garbage toss" when prompted.
