In the Town Where the Giants Play, a Sense of Being Overlooked (NY Times)

From the New York Times:

With the New York Football Giants just one victory away from their third Super Bowl triumph (Too bad the undefeated Patriots are the last BIG obstacle), isn’t it time to get to know the team’s real home of the past 32 years?

Any TV watcher knows that when the Giants play, the networks usually sprinkle in shots of the Manhattan skyline and Times Square, not the low-slung shops on Paterson and Park Avenues, which is where Noel Figueroa, a hair stylist, can be found.
“They don’t give the town shine,” he said. “This is where the team is, the streets they walk. They go to the liquor store, they eat at Ralph’s Pizza, they get their hair cut here.”


In fact, it meet intrigue you to know (as East Ruherford Mayor Cassella points out), “The Giants have been in New Jersey longer than they were at Yankee Stadium.”
