It was another beautiful day and so we decided to head to the
Highline Park! The Highline Park is a super cool urban park on Manhattan's West Side. It is built on old railroad tracks and is a few stories above the ground. It is unlike anywhere I've ever been and I'm glad that I could take Mom and Dad here. We also had the best shaved ice I've ever had (there was a guy literally shaving ice and I had rhubarb flavored shaved it, which was as awesome as it sounds!) Here are some photos!!

We decided to walk down to the Hudson River and go to lunch at the
Frying Pan, which is a boat that they arose from the Chesapeake Bay and converted it into a resturants. It is a fun place to go and the food was better than I remembered!!

After we finished up at the Frying Pan, we headed to the Empire State Building to look around. We debated going to the top, but decided against this since we had just gone to the Top of the Rock a few days earlier. I was surprised how beautiful the Empire State Building lobby was.
We couldn't decide what to do next, so we headed to the world's largest department store to have a Starbucks Coffee: Macy's at Herald Square. We then decided to do something I had wanted to do but never had a chance: Walk the
Brooklyn Bridge!! We started on the Brooklyn side and worked our way back to Manhattan!! It was as awesome as I hoped it would be!!

We decided to head to
Washington Square Park after walking back to Manhattan. It is such a great place to people watch!

We decided to walk around the Greenwich Village until a restaurant sounded good. We found
JACK Bistro & Bar, which was amazing. They had a special where you could get an appetizer, entree, and desert for (I believe) $20.00, but you could replace the appetizer or desert for a glass of wine and pay the same price. I certainly didn't need that much food so I had a couple of glasses of wine and since I love Thanksgiving, I basically had Thanksgiving dinner. It was awesome! If I return to New York and need a place to dine, I will definitely have Jack on my list!
