Shopping in Manhattan




This weekend my cousins Carly, Corry, and Caitlyn came to New York, from Washington D.C., to do some after the holiday shopping. After hours of walking we decided to go to The Carnegie Deli for some New York sandwiches. It was there that our waiter brought us to our table and gave us our menus. There were many choices. The waiter brought us our food on plates. Our sandwiches were huge. I dropped my utensils on the floor so the waiter brought me a clean fork, knife and spoon. The sandwiches were very messy so my family used many napkins. When we finished our meal my Dad went back to work and the rest of the family continued shopping. We decided to walk because we ate so much!
