Eli Manning was at Disney World yesterday, but he's now back in New York City with the rest of the New York Giants, celebrating their Super Bowl XLVI victory. 
 
 The parade started at Battery Place and Washington Street and will continue on up through the Canyon of Heroes before finishing at City Hall Plaza with New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg presenting the Key to the City. 
 
 All the Giants are on hand, and countless people fill the streets. 
 
 We'll be watching all the coverage and bringing you all the latest pictures, quotes and videos as the parade continues.

 PHILADELPHIA – In what could only be described as a preview to the madness that will fill the streets of Philadelphia Thursday at the Super Bowl parade honoring the hometown Eagles, fans flocked to Philadelphia International Airport Monday afternoon to welcome the Lombardi Trophy to Philadelphia for the first time in franchise history. 
 
 Once owner Jeffrey Lurie stepped off the plane and hoisted the trophy in the air, fans yelled, chanted and lifted their phones in the air to try and capture the moment with photos and videos and even share with loved ones through Apple's FaceTime. 
 
 The savviest in attendance topped cars and news vans to get a better view.

 And the hysteria only heightened when Lurie, coach Doug Pederson and a few Eagles players brought the trophy from the runway to the fans scattered along the fences by Atlantic Aviation – just east of the main portion of the airport. 
 
 Lurie, Pederson and running back LeGarrette Blount, among others, all lifted the trophy in the air to cheers from the crowd. At one point, fans started shouting the name "Howie," a nod to general manager Howie Roseman, the Pro Football Writers' executive of the year.

 The atmosphere built up throughout the day. 
 
 Just before 1 p.m. there were only a handful of people lined up along the fences, but hundreds followed in the next hour. 
 
 North Philadelphia's Javier Sanchez was one of the first to arrive. Sanchez, who turns 30 Tuesday, said he thinks welcoming the team back after a Super Bowl win will become a regular occurrence. 
 
 "It's like the ending of a dynasty and the beginning of a new one," he said, referring to the New England Patriots' run of success. 
 
 Sanchez said coming out Monday afternoon was never a question. He earlier was in Center City earlier in the day scoping out the route the team will parade on Thursday. 
 
 "This is our team, Sanchez said. "We bleed green." 
 
 It was a family affair, with many parents bringing their children. 
 
 John McKenzie of Broomall, Pa., said he made an executive decision when the game ended Sunday night to cancel school. He called winning the Super Bowl a Top 5 moment in his family's history, right behind the birth of his four boys. 
 
 "Ahead of the marriage, though," McKenzie joked. 
 
 McKenzie said the boys will all be at the parade Thursday, and they may have one of the best views available. McKenzie said the family had a room booked at The Windsor Suites and will have a balcony overlooking Benjamin Franklin Parkway.

 Springfield, Pa.'s Mike Donlan made a similar parental decision, allowing his daughter, Cara, to stay home from school Monday. Donlan, who sells insurance, was working from home Monday and decided he and Cara would drive to the airport to celebrate. 
 
 "Here we are," Donlan said. "It's absolutely fantastic." 
 
 Sunday night Donlan said he got to enjoy the Super Bowl with his family, including his 82 and 81-year old parents.

 The Eagles fight song was shouted out what seemed like every five minutes or so. A man waving an Eagles Super Bowl LII flag at one point wouldn't allow cars to pass on Island Avenue without honking their horns. They obliged, of course. So, too, did the honking tractor trailer drivers, airport shuttle drivers and even a few police cruisers. 
 
 Later, when the team left on buses with a police escort back to the NovaCare Complex in South Philadelphia, many fans in the crowd rushed to their cars to follow. 
 
 It was only Monday.

 The 2,000 fans assembled to watch the game on a Jumbotron a park across from City Hall grew in numbers and volume throughout the chilly and foggy night, exploding in unison with a roar with the final out. 
 
 Fans across the city left their televisions and raced into the streets, where they were greeted by diners and bar patrons who raced outside to celebrate as well. Car horns blared long into the night and revelers blocked traffic in front of popular watering holes around town. 
 
 At Polk and Bush streets in the city's Polk Gulch neighborhood, hundreds of fans sprayed champagne, set of off firecrackers and blocked traffic for at least two hours after the game. 
 
 Several blocks away, police clad in riot gear looked on as revelers danced around Civic Center plaza where they watched the game on the Jumbotron. 
 
 Anthony Yos, 10, hugged his brother Luciano Yos, 15 and the two danced in an embrace with their parents. 
 
 "This is the greatest thing," Anthony said with a smile that could go no wider. "The Giants are my favorite team." 
 
 Someone in the crowd launched fireworks a few minutes after the game and the park was awash with revelers, strangers hugging strangers and wine bottles and marijuana cigarettes being freely passed through the crowd despite a heavy police presence. 
 
 "This is San Francisco, "said Laura Chu. "We know how to party." 
 
 Sara Vivas brought her 6-year-old daughter Briana Cepeda from Oakland to view the game and join the celebration. They were both clad head-to-toe in Giants garb. 
 
 "This is something she will remember forever," Sara said. 
 
 Bars of all stripes, from the Castro to Chinatown were packed with supporters of the beloved Giants. 
 
 So-called pedicabs whisked fans down roads blocked to traffic and revelers enjoyed a New Year's Eve-like freedom to roam up and down streets usually clogged with traffic. 
 
 Small fires broke out in trash cans here and there, but the violence and vandalism appeared to have been kept to a minimum a few hours after the last pitch. 
 
 Shortly before midnight, police said the street celebration was still going. 
 
 "We're watching out for any major flareups and fires," said police spokesman officer Carlos Manfredi. "We want to maintain public safety at all times, and don't want to put first responders in any danger." 
 
 He said police were responding to certain hot spots but had no reports of serious problems. No arrest figures were available. 
 
 Mayor Edwin Lee announced the ticker-tape parade would be held Wednesday at 11 a.m., down Market Street to Civic Center Plaza 
 
 "The rain in Detroit couldn't dampen the drive, talent and determination of the San Francisco Giants team tonight. Once again, the Giants brought our City together as we all cheered on our hometown heroes to another remarkable World Series victory," he said. 
 
 The 2010 parade drew hundreds of thousands fans, who lined the streets of downtown San Francisco. The parade ends at City Hall. 
 
 The party started early in Civic Center park, with many showing up hours before the 5 p.m. game on a nice Indian Summer day in San Francisco, wearing shorts and t-shirts. The blankets and sweaters came out when the sun went down and the fog rolled in, but the chill didn't damper the enthusiasm. Many in the crowd were carrying brooms in hope of the series sweep that came to be. 
 
 "We they were going to sweep," said Elizabeth Choy-Lau, 32, of San Francisco. She and her husband were carrying brooms. 
 
 "There was no doubt," said Steve Lau, 30. 
 
 The city's ubiquitous food trucks did a brisk business and drummers of all types beat their instruments throughout the game. 
 
 "Where else in the world do you want to be tonight," replied Dave Wormald of Toronto. Wormald and two other colleagues were in town for a business meeting and were watching the game at their hotel when they decided to embark for City Hall. 
 
 "This is the place to be," said Jim Vliet, Wormald's colleague.
– To the victors go the massive ticker-tape parades. Thousands roared as Giants quarterback Eli Manning hoisted the team's Super Bowl trophy during a parade today through New York City. (The Daily Intel blog wonders why the city can't do this for Iraqi war vets, too.) Today's parade set off from the southern tip of Manhattan and moved slowly north to City Hall as confetti wafted down from the high-rises. Mayor Bloomberg said the city should now be nicknamed the "Big Blue Apple." Click for more from the parade.
