Then we walked many more blocks to Grand Central Station, made famous in the Madagascar movie., We were all surprised with how beautiful a building it is. The ceiling is gorgeous.
We walked into Brooklyn and sat for a long time to rest and eat. Then we took a car ride back across the bridge to the Staten Island ferry. We didn't have time to explore Staten Island, so we just walked to the 9-11 memorial that frames NYC in the distance, and we sat for a while and looked at the city skyline and then took the ferry back to Manhattan. We were out of time to explore the other boroughs besides Manhattan (Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island), and we could have done lots more in Manhattan too, but we feel like we got a pretty good overview of NYC and did enough in our short time to call it a great trip.
