Canyon of Heroes
The Canyon of Heroes is a colloquialism used in New York City to refer to a section of lower Broadway that is the historic location of the city's ticker-tape parades.
The traditional route of the parade is northward from Bowling Green to City Hall Park . The route is lined with tall office buildings along both sides for most of its route, affording a view of the parade for many thousands of office workers as well as the snowstorm-like jettison of shredded paper products onto the parade itself.
The sidewalks along the Canyon of Heroes have black granite strips embedded within them listing honorees of past ticker-tape parades.
