The other way around might be kind of scary: if you do remember
Rodriguez's "From Dusk till Dawn", you know what we are talking about.
One way or another it's worth to spend some time on Coney Island while visiting NYC.
We took our compact friendly NEX 3* for a day long walk on what is officially known as Riegelmann Boardwalk (Warning: any attempt to show off will be crushed in the bud, since Edward Riegelmann is known only to historians and avid Wiki readers; Disclaimer: some local policemen are not members of any of the aforementioned groups).
Brooklynites adore waterfronts; we share their weakness for the three of them:
- Brooklyn Heights Promenade or simply The Promenade (lower Manhattan view across East River over roaring BQE),
- Shore Parkway (a thin paved strip following curvature of the Gravesend Bay, the only place, where one can take a nap under the grandeur of Verrazano Bridge)
- Coney Island Boardwalk, our today's special.
2.5 miles one way, where sound of surf overpowers shriek of the subway, smell of water blanks inviting aroma of Brighton Beach bakeries.
We booked several round-trips that day, departing at dawn.
