Coney Island

Coney Island

Hold off on the groans and eye-rolls. We promise that this Brooklyn classic offers far more than hot dogs and pushy tourists. Enjoy live music at the Amphitheater at Coney Island Boardwalk which is opening this summer. William's Candy is known for its candied apples for those who want to indulge. In a rush to bae-watch on the sand or dive into the Atlantic? The beach itself at Coney Island is notoriously grody. We recommend that the faint of heart stick to the sand and enjoy a margarita from Tom's
