Aww, pigeon enthusiast (seriously, the man LOVES pigeons) and sometime-actor Mike Tyson was seen enjoying the Giants' ticker tape parade yesterday. Only he wasn't mixing it up with the crowd—he was the Ritz-Carlton in Battery Park City.
Mike Tyson cheers the Giants
The Daily News reports, "The budding movie star made an unusual cameo before the start of Tuesday’s Big Blue victory parade up the Canyon of Heroes. While several flatbed trucks carrying media members idled on West St. right outside the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, a familiar tattooed face suddenly appeared in one of the windows of a lower-level room.... Sure enough, when the man in the window turned his head, the familiar jagged tattoos around his left eye were visible in the sunlight. The Brooklyn-born Tyson waved a few times before another person in his hotel room shut the curtains. Perhaps Tyson didn’t want anyone to see the tiger in his hotel room." Or disturb his singing of some classic Phil Collins!
