The football season is over, but news about the Giants and their Super Bowl win never gets old. Here's what's been happening since the ticker tape parade:

Mayor Bloomberg and Mayor Thomas Menino of Boston are putting it all on the line for Sunday's Super Bowl. After winning the awful bet from Green Bay, Bloomberg has a lot more riding on the line when the Giants face off against the Patriots this weekend. As is the custom when the playoffs roll around, the mayors of the teams participating decided on a friendly food wager. The stakes, or should we say steaks, are upped in this bet as the Vince Lombardy Trophy are on the line.

Along with the good cheer and good food that come with the holiday season, comes the annual office holiday party and its obligatory phony smiles and eventual hang-over. This year, Gothamist Health woke up with such a headache after the company shindig that we sat up in bed, cursing modern medicine for having yet to devise a hang-over remedy that actually works. And considering that the morning-after woes may be responsible for almost $4 billion in lost earnings every year, one would think that scientists would be busy trying to come up with one.

So it appears that the Food Network is taping a show this afternoon called "Culinary Claim to Fame," featuring Ben Sargent of Williamsburg's Surf Bar. It's all about the chowda, folks, but Ben had some tough competition in the form of one Bobby Flay. We guess we'll have to wait until the show airs to know what happens, but we did find a couple chowder recipes from Flay on FoodTV.com:

This time of year when the wind chill often makes walking the streets an onerous prospect, we at Gothamist tend to wimp out a bit. We transform into mole people and duck underground, devising new routes that involve as little of the freezing cold as possible. There are some nice surprises to be found along the way though. Take for instance the to-go window at the Oyster Bar at Grand Central Station. (It opens on to the ramp that leads down to the main dining concourse on the lower level.) Stop by any weekday around lunchtime, and you can sample from an abbreviated version of the grand old restaurant’s colossal seafood menu.
