Eli Manning Super Bowl MVP

Well, the Super Bowl may be over, but the hype is not!

One, you have the big Giants Victory parade tomorrow (thank God it’s not in Hoboken! But expect some idiot to start a “NFL-con” or “Eli-con” just to get drunk), and probably at least a week’s worth of stories milking this professional sporting event until it’s bled dry.

But one interesting thing I guess, is that the big Super Bowl trophy will probably call Hoboken home for at least a few days – over in Eli Manning’s apartment up at the Hudson Tea Building.

Hopefully, Eli doesn’t become a victim of one of Hoboken’s many burglaries in 2012.

Hoboken’s Eli Manning leads NY Giants to Super Bowl Title

Congratulations to Eli Manning and the NY Giants for their fabulous win over the New England Patriots in the 2012 NFL Super Bowl!

Thank God, no Giants-related suicides this weekend (just the ones where people made the wrong bets!) Cool that Eli has really turning into an elite NFL Quarterback! Ha Ha, doubters!

Hoboken becomes Super Bowl City – Giants vs. Patriots

Almost four years ago to the day – Hoboken artist Tim Heins submitted the following cartoon before the 2008 Super Bowl featuring the same NY Giants vs. the New England Patriots. The Giants prevailed in that exciting game which prevented the Pats from going undefeated.

Perhaps this Hobotown submission a good luck charm for Big Blue?

Sol Caribe offers BYOB Super Bowl Party in Hoboken!

Forgot to mention this very interesting choice in yesterday’s Hoboken Super Bowl options post!

Did you know that Sol Caribe – the new latin-fusion restaurant at 518 Washington St is having a BYOB Super Bowl party?

They’ll be offering a special Super Bowl menu – with five or six items – and possibly some kind of “all you can eat” buffet option (inquire by calling 201-683-8733).

While there are only five TV’s in the back, the atmosphere is fine and might be a better and more affordable option than jamming into a sweaty over-packed watering hole or meat market. Plus – if you happen to run out of beer or wine, Sol Caribe has made arrangements with Village Market to deliver your replenishment’s so you don’t have to miss a single down!

Depending on how the game pans out – it’s possible you’ll be more interested in the tender & tasty pulled pork and chicharones than what the score is! Check it out!
