A mere 13 miles from the island of Manhattan lies another, perhaps more mythical island named “Coney”. Located on the Atlantic Ocean in the southwestern part of the borough of Brooklyn, Coney Island is a peninsula residential neighborhood as well as a beach, leisure and entertainment destination.
There’s something here for everyone – historians will delight in the last vestiges of old New York with Sideshows by the Seashore, thrill seekers will be satiated by the likes of The Cyclone, Sling Shot and The Thunderbolt, while those seeking more gastronomic pleasures will delight in the plethora of restaurants and food stands on and around the boardwalk.
“If Paris is France, then Coney Island, between June and September, is the world”.
-George C. Tilyou, 1886
