And on Thursday, the City of Dreams will celebrate with its long-awaited ticker-tape parade \u2014 maybe the largest the city has ever seen.<\/p>\n

Ticker-tape is where massive amounts of confetti are thrown from the windows of skyscrapers. But don\u2019t expect orange and blue, as The Post previously reported, it will be thousands of pounds of tiny white shreds.<\/p>\n

Follow The Post\u2019s live updates from the Knicks Championship parade for the latest city chaos, celeb sightings and sports reaction.<\/p>\n

In fact, 1.25 tons will be tossed onto the Canyon of Heroes with millions expected to show up and show out for the champs. But the party won\u2019t stop there.<\/p>\n

After the parade, Mayor Zohran Mamdani will host another celebration where the New York Knicks team will receive a well-deserved Key to the City at City Hall Plaza.<\/p>\n

In typical New York City fashion, eateries across the Big Apple are getting into the game, showing their Knickerbocker spirit with deals and freebies.<\/p>\n

The Post put together a list of spots to hit before or after the parade \u2014 or during if you need to dodge the crowds. First up, an NYC classic.<\/p>\n

Serendipity 3 \u2014 UES<\/h2>\n

The whimsical dessert parlor \u2014 known for its over-the-top sundaes and world-famous Frrrozen Hot Chocolate \u2014 is handing out 50% off desserts when you wear orange and blue.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you didn\u2019t spend $50k on Knicks tickets, then get the freakin Knicks Frrrozen Hot Chocolate,\u201d the legendary restaurant teased on Instagram.<\/p>\n

The iconic treat is a \u201cvelvety-smooth, icy-sweet blend of 14 exotic cocoas,\u201d as described by the spot. It\u2019s served in an monstrous goblet with a heaping of whipped cream and chocolate shavings for $19.95.<\/p>\n
