The BERGEN (NJ) RECORD notes today that “New York City said Thursday that it would hold a ticker-tape parade for the Giants Tuesday if Big Blue wins the Super Bowl.“
More interesting is the question, “so how come there’s no parade here in Jersey where the Giants actually, you know, play and train? Jerseyans, do you feel snubbed?”
Fair question, considering none of the Giants fans in New Jersey will be available for the parade in New York City as they’ll be getting primped for their upcoming night at Hunkabunka’s in Sayreville, NJ. Sayreville’s a good 45 minutes from the The City, so you can’t expect them to change their spray-on tan, hair-starch schedules around a stupid parade?!

We would be pissed and try to argue about the stereotype, but the Hunkabunka reference was just too priceless.

If you asked me to envision Hunkabunka’s in Sayreville ever finding its way logically into such a post, I would have drawn a blank.
yet, this is masterful. i credit Z100 for making me feel like i know this establishment (while growing up in NY), although i’ve never had the pleasure. phenomenal.

Unfortunately, Hunka Bunka is nothing but a memory. It’s now The Starland Ballroom, a concert venue.
Now all us in Sayreville have is being Jon Bon Jovi’s hometown. Although Greg Evigan (Of My Two Dads fame), Danny Pintauro (Who’s The Boss), and former Minnesota Twins manager Tom Kelly are from here.
