Mayor Bloomberg and Miami Mayor Manuel Diaz have put their stomachs as well as sports prides on the line. Mayor Bloomberg's office released this press release about their friendly wager:
Mayor Bloomberg says, "My confidence in the Bronx Bombers is so high, I am tempted to wager the Brooklyn Bridge. Since Miami is really New York’s farthest suburb, I thought all those transplanted New Yorkers might be tempted by a taste of home. For the citizens of Miami to yearn for, but never ever to have, I wager:
- Cheese cake from the world famous Junior's of Brooklyn
- Pastrami Sandwiches from the 2nd Avenue Deli
- Peking Duck from Peking House in Flushing
- Lobsters from Filippo’s on Richmond Road in Staten Island
- Roast Pork from El Molino Rojo II on 161st Street in the Bronx
Bloomberg continues, "Since I am so full from that Lobster Bake that Mayor Menino of Boston so generously give us, I’m glad we will have a few days to recover before we get to indulge in the delicacies that Mayor Diaz has so graciously offered."
Mayor Diaz writes to Mayor Bloomberg, "Now that the curses of the Bambino and the goat have worked their magic again, it is time for the Big Apple and the Magic City to settle the score. Miami, the most diverse large City in the country, represents the new face of America. It is now time that the Big Apple step aside and make way for the Magic City!"

How politically savvy of Bloomie to include a selection from each borough, probably the smartest thing he's done during his administration so far.
That bear looks suspicuously like Juan Pierre.
he did that for his wager with boston too, i think.

And, what are the chances that Bloomberg's prize chowder from beantown didn't include the piss or man chowder of an unhappy Bosox fan?
doshin, that's kind of true. Weird.
Here is Bloomby's bet from the Boston-NY ALCS.
It's a toss-up between "man chowder" and "Gothamist is drunk just from linking to all those rums and beers" for the funniest thing I've read all week.
hmm, i think eileen's cheesecake is better than junior's.
but go marlins!!
Miami forgot the snapper sandwich from the Lighthouse Cafe in Key Biscayne. I have sampled fish sandwiches on beaches coast to coast, and this one is the uncontested winner. Mmm... eating a fish sandwich on the beach with a cold Presidente in my hand...
Anyway, go Yankees.
are they trying to get us so drunk we forget we won? and in that case, why not add a case of Brooklyn Pennant Ale? I think its totally appropriate.
