A Fun Day in New York City

This past weekend, I went to Manhattan. My friend and I drove into the city, instead of taking the train. We took a bridge that cost no money to cross, called the 59th Street bridge. It was scary because we drove on the outside of the bridge, instead of through it. It was exciting though. Once we were in the city, we drove through Times Square. It was scary because there were so many people walking around sightseeing.  We went to a very fancy restaurant for brunch where they had people come around and dance while you ate. It was amazing! After brunch, we walked around Chelsea Piers. It was a gorgeous day outside to walk down by the water. We met some military men who told us all about the boat we were looking at. We then went shopping at some very small boutiques and then drove home. It was a very fun day!
