Coney Island

Posted in Family, New York Life at 9:17 pm by rachel

Here’s a little SAT prep for today: Paris is to France as Coney Island is to _________________.

the world! of course.

We had lunch and spent the afternoon in Coney Island today, stopping by the New York Aquarium for the first time. It was a great day, although we still miss the batting cages that have been razed in preparation for some sort of yet-to-be-revealed development. Other institutions like Nathan’s hot dogs and the “Shoot the Freak” game were still thriving, so all was not lost!

What? no dog?

Only in Coney Island do aquarium inscriptions include the word “jackass.”

There’s a photo of this snack bar currently being sold at CB2 in SoHo.

Not sure if we’ll make it back for the Mermaid parade, but we’re glad we trekked out before moving from the city.
