Here are our picks for the top stories that affected NYC and our state this year. It's been a very eventful year.
Giants Win Super Bowl, February 3: After defeating the Green Bay Packers in overtime—and below-zero conditions—to win the NFC Championship, no one was expecting the Giants to win against the 16-0 (regular season) New England Patriots. Which is why their 17-14 victory over the Pats was all the more exciting, what with an amazing catch by David Tyree. The city feted the Giants with a ticker tape parade and awaited to be dazzled by a Giant wearing a ten-table ring. (Photograph of the Giants ticker tape parade by Tien Mao)






Every day I give thanks that my wife and kids are healthy and I still have a desk waiting for me. Good luck to you all in 2009!
Thank you for a Year in Review that didn't make me want to barf. Here's to 2009!
You missed the best story of the year... How can you not include the President's near death by shoe? Love him or hate him that had to be one of the top three by my estimate.
