NY Oyster Bar Sells Giants Clam Chowder

Not only has the pride of New England been creamed by the New York Giants in Super Bowl XLII, so has the region's namesake chowder - at least at one city restaurant.

The Grand Central Oyster Bar is changing the name of its New England Clam Chowder to "Giants Clam Chowder" for the week.

The restaurant's owner, Mike Garvey, called it an "appropriate tribute."

The Giants beat the previously undefeated New England Patriots 17-14 on Sunday night to win their third Super Bowl title.

Giants Stun Patriots in Super Bowl XLII

GLENDALE, Ariz. — The Giants
were not even supposed to be here this week, taking an unlikely playoff
path through the behemoths of their conference and regarded, once they
alighted on Super Bowl XLII, as little more than charming foils for the New England Patriots’s assault on immortality. But with their defense battering the National Football League’s most valuable player, Tom Brady, and Giants quarterback Eli Manning
playing more like Brady than Brady himself, the Giants, seemingly
enlivened for the postseason by a 3-point loss to these same Patriots
in the regular-season finale, crafted one of the greatest upsets in
Super Bowl history, beating the Patriots, 17-14.
It was the first championship for the Giants since the 1991 Super Bowl. Back then, Bill Belichick
was the Giants’ defensive coordinator. On Sunday, he was the
coach who had led the Patriots to the brink of an historic perfect
season, had survived a spying scandal that cost him money and his team
a first-round draft pick, had weathered whispers in recent days that a
previous title might be tainted, too, only to watch it all collapse
under the weight of the Giants’ ferocious pass rush. For another
year, the 1972 Miami Dolphins will stand alone with the only perfect season in N.F.L. history.
