The 42 Stops to Super Bowl XLII is a series that will feature stories, stats and interesting trivia that you can use to act smart as you prepare for Super Bowl XLII.
There is nothing like the mayors of cities betting "placing a friendly wager" on a big sports contest like the Super Bowl.
For Super Bowl XLII, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino have set their wager:
In the bet placed Tuesday, the loser will donate local foods to charity in the other mayor's city.
If the Patriots win, that means Bloomberg will send a delivery to Boston that includes Manhattan clam chowder, pastrami sandwiches, New York pizzas, black and white cookies, New York steaks and a few gallons of lemon ice.
And if the Giants claim victory, Menino will send a package with New England clam chowder, Dunkin' Donuts coffee, Boston cream pies, chicken sausages and Brigham's ice cream.
It should be noted that Bloomberg was born and raised in the Boston area. No word if East Rutherford Mayor James L. Cassella and Foxboro board of selectmen have a wager as well. After all, it is their cities in which these teams call home.

Sounds like Boston is getting a lot better stuff than New York.
