What is more appropriate than visiting the cultural, entertainment and culinary center of the universe? The beating heart of a great city. That's right. I'm talking about Coney Island.
We made the pilgrimage to Brooklyn to take in the sights, sounds and smells of Coney Island. We expected to find an amusement park well past its prime, neglected and perhaps a bit seedy.
What we discovered was completely different. While not up to the magical standards of a Disney theme park, Coney Island was old but clean, well-cared for and bustling with families enjoying a New York tradition. From the tame kiddie rides to vertigo-inducing thrill rides, you can have a full day of fun with short lines.
Plus, the food experience is enjoyable. We ate at Nathan's on the boardwalk, of course. The chili dogs and onion rings were to die for. We enjoyed ours while watching people play on the expansive beach and swim in the ocean.
Naturally, people-watching gave us an eyeful. We saw all types of New Yorkers, from all parts of the city speaking languages from around the globe.
Enjoy the photos.
