Then, Nevius points out another obvious dilemma: "You can only have an effective ticker tape parade if the windows open: newer, glass curtain wall buildings aren't good for parades. You'll notice as you walk along the Canyon of Heroes that there are very few of them on the parade route."

Known for its sheer verticality and prominent role in the Canyon, the 38-story Ernest Graham designed Equitable Building's five thousand windows have probably seen many tons of paper tossed out its windows over the years for visiting statesmen, war heroes and astronauts. But will the building at 120 Broadway, once Manhattan's largest, do the same for the Bronx Bombers? (Full disclosure: the Equitable Building is the headquarters of GlobeSt.com.)

It turns out that the building, completed in 1915, went through millions of dollars in renovations back in the 1980s and 1990s, where old double hung windows were replaced by the kinds that swing slightly out. That prevents most tenants from randomly participating in the ticker toss. Needless to say, according to a spokesperson at owner Silverstein Properties Inc., the parade doesn't present the building with additional security issues or other burdens that observers may concern themselves with.

Back at the garage, Downtown Alliance COO Bill Bernstein tells GlobeSt.com that there have been 205 ticker tape parades in Lower Manhattan since 1886.

And, as a result, "our property managers are well versed in this process," Bernstein says. "We plan for parades, whether they are going to occur or not, and, there have been discussions with our property owners along Broadway, along the parade route, for a week now." He says the Alliance will also assist with the cleanup.

But who will get to toss the paper? Bernstein says, "The tenants of the buildings who can open their windows toss the paper themselves."
