The Best Beaches Around New York City

Foodies, assemble! While Brighton Beach is just a stone's throw away from Coney Island, it boasts it's own distinct community and feel. Pierogis are in, hot dogs are out in the neighborhood known as Little Odessa. We could easily spend a day walking the boardwalk and noshing on goodies from local favorites. Sample the city's best rugelach at Bakery La Brioche Cafe. Oceanview Cafe offers savory, humble russian classics. Locals hold Volna close to their hearts for boardwalk bites.
