Mayor Bloomberg is placing a bet with the mayor of Boston, Thomas Menino, over the outcome of Sunday’s Super Bowl game between the Giants and the Patriots at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz.
If the Giants win, Mr. Menino owes Mr. Bloomberg 100 cups of New England clam chowder from Legal Sea Foods; 42 pounds of Dunkin’ Donuts coffee; 12 dozen Boston cream pies and 12 dozen Parker House Rolls from Boston’s Omni Parker House Hotel; 100 Old Tyme hot dogs and 100 Al Fresco chicken sausages from Kayem; 20 pizzas from Sal’s; five cases of Brigham’s ice cream; five cases of Elan frozen yogurt bars, and 100 servings of Stonyfield Farm organic yogurt.
If the Patriots win, Mr. Bloomberg will send Mr. Menino 42 pastrami and corned beef sandwiches from Carnegie Deli; 42 “Big Blue Cheese Eli Mann-Eater Burgers” from Gallagher’s Steak House; one case of beef cocktail patties and one case of chicken cocktail patties from Golden Krust Caribbean Bakery & Grill in the Bronx; a selection of five pizzas from Goodfella’s Pizzeria on Staten Island; 42 pounds of rugelach, 42 pounds of assorted layer cakes, and 42 black-and-white cookies from Junior’s; one 2.5-gallon tub of lemon ice and one 2.5-gallon tub of the flavor of Boston’s choice from the Lemon Ice King of Corona; 100 servings of Manhattan clam chowder and one bushel of Blue Point oysters from the Grand Central Oyster Bar & Restaurant, and 20 pounds of “Super Steak” from Peter Luger Steak House, along with six bottles of Peter Luger steak sauce.
The loser will donate the food to charity in the other mayor’s city.
