As this is a three day weekend for me I decided to spend Saturday by taking the Chinatown Bus from Boston to New York. The round trip only costs $30 and I figured for that price it was worth it to go spend the day in New York.

On the way back we stopped for a rest in Conneticut at a Burger King and there I found two cents. One penny was in the parking lot and the other was inside the store by the front counter.
