The Yankees will celebrate their 27th World Series title in grand New York fashion - with a "ticker tape" parade up the Canyon of Heroes on Friday.

Derek Jeter, A-Rod and the rest of the Bronx Bombers will be swimming in a sea of confetti and congratulatory cheers on lower Broadway from the Battery to City Hall starting at 11 a.m.

Mayor Bloomberg unveiled the parade plans after the Yanks' stunning victory last night.

"Congratulations to all the Yankees for bringing the world championship back home to New York City, where it belongs," said Bloomberg, who watched Game 6 at at Yankee Stadium.

He will present the keys to the city to the champs at a City Hall ceremony right after the triumphant march.

While anyone can line the route, a limited number of tickets to the City Hall celebration will be available, the mayor's office said. Information on how tickets will be distributed will be available today.

The weather is expected to cooperate too - the forecast is for a crisp cool fall day, partly cloudy, with temps near 50.

New Yorkers are pumped and primed for the parade.

"I am so psyched; it's wonderful," said Renee Rosales-Kopel, 50, an executive at William Barthman Jewelers, whose store sits along the route. "The parade is such an uplifting thing."

It will be the 178th ticker-tape parade on Broadway and the first since February 2008, when the Giants won the Super Bowl.

About 20 office buildings on Broadway will get stacks of shredded recyclable paper to toss down. Ticker tape hasn't been used since stock tickers became obsolete in the 1960s.

Some 36 tons of paper were used for the Giants' parade and a similar bulk is expected this time, said Joe Timpone, senior vice president for operations at Downtown Alliance, which is set to distribute the confetti.

"The excitement is building," he said.

Enthusiasm was running high elsewhere in downtown Manhattan where office workers get a bird's-eye view of the floats.

"It's a spectacle, and it's not like it happens every year," said Sean Anderson, 36, who works at the National Sept. 11 Memorial and Museum. "They haven't won in a while."

The city says the parade will cost about the same as last year's for the Giants. Those festivities came to $331,000, with all but $24,000 covered by private donors.
