Manhattan: Lets Just Walk There

On one of the days, we decided to walk the Brooklyn Bridge to Manhattan. My friends from California were dying to do this after seeing Carrie meet Mr. Big halfway on this bridge, in an episode of Sex and the City. I haven't seen every episode of Sex and the City .. so I have no recollection of this particular one .. but in either case, we did it.

It was a little chilly that day, especially walking over the water. Once we made it to Manhattan though, the temperature warmed up quite a bit and we were able to explore more of the city. Naturally, we couldn't go a day without eating some good food. Since my sister and her friend are in Canada most of the year, they hardly ever get to eat at Olive Garden. I ordered the Chicken Marsala because it's one of my favorites!

We visited Ground Zero, Times Square and just your typical tourist destinations. I did a bit of shopping in Manhattan as well, but I think I might leave that for a separate post.

We also got to be on a billboard in Times Square (top right), thanks to our good friends at Hyundai! Of course it was only for a few minutes, but I still thought it was pretty cool.
