Great Day!

This past weekend my friends and I went into New York City. We decided to take the trip in rather than exchanging Christmas gifts this year. Christmas gifts are fun to exchange but it is not worth the hassle of deciding what to get everyone or spending all of that money! So instead we went out to lunch! The restaurant we chose to go to was in the Greenwich village area of the city. The name of it was Sweetiepie. It was a child-themed restaurant with colorful paintings, fun straws, and mocktails. Mocktails are fun, colorful drinks that do not have any alcohol in them so children can drink them. The entrees were all foods that children typically enjoy. Some of the choices were macaroni and cheese, sliders, pancakes, and chicken nuggets. All of the choices sounds great so my friends and I had a difficult time making our decision! The food came out very quickly and we were all happy with our choices, it was delicious. After we all finished our meal we decided we were going to get dessert. The restaurant makes their own ice cream so we couldn't refuse! My friend Stephanie and I both got a trio of ice cream cones while some got cups of ice creams and others got milkshakes! The whole experience was wonderful and I would recommend Sweetiepie to anyone!
