A Walk to the City

About a week ago i was getting ready to visit the city. I was going out with my girlfriend to a resturaunt and to walk around and just enjoy the times. We first drove to the S.I. ferry so we didnt have to take another hour on the staten island railroad. We drove to the ferry and when we got there found it confusing on where to park. We park and paid at a municipal meter but when we were walking to the ferry we saw signs that it was private parking only and were afraid that i was going to get a ticket. We went and asked a guy that wasnt very helpful. He said he didnt know, but he said that there was another parking lot near the entrance to the ferry and he was sure that we could park there. So we went back to my car and on the way saw a family looking for a spot and sold them our ticket. Then went around and parked the car and ran to the ferry. We grabbed a metro card and some snacks and were ready to go. Once we got on the ferry we went to the top deck and went on the outside. We took some pics even though she didnt want to that much because she thinks she looked funny, but she didnt and didnt want to believe me. After that event we arrived at the city and took the train to Christopher st. When we got the the restauraunt was right there! We went to "Jeckal and Hyde" for dinner where they had many funny characters and even things on the walls that put on shows for you while you eat. It was really cool and pretty fun! Then after dinner we went to a museum that had some weird things. There was things like hot dogs and fish sticks that that moved like they were real. The fish sticks were in a tank and were swimming around, while the hotdogs were in a container and had the water dispenser which was a mustard bottle. It was really weird but very cool to see. After we walked around the city and then started to head home. We really had a great time and cant wait to go back and do it again!
