Thank you for this video. I grew up in Manhattan Chinatown and the last time I was at Coney Island was 1980. Brings back so many great memories. My 6th grade final field trip was here. We had a blast on the bumper cars. Then went ice skating here a lot in 1980. Left NYC in 85 but my heart is always here. So good to see so many businesses are still there. Wow, the Wonder Wheel is still going. Also glad to see the newer roller coasters. Hope to visit this area again next time I am in town.

Watching something as simple as this just gives me both wanderlust and anxiety. A concrete jungle as huge as this is something I haven't been into. I've been in New Orleans, Dallas, OKC, so on and so forth but I don't think any major city is as dense with life and character as NYC. There's still so much I want to explore in life.

Wow. Coney Island is it's own city. This place must rock during hot weather although as a non New Yorker, it looks kind of dangerous. Still, it's distinctly New York and couldn't be anywhere else. And the view of what I think is the Verrazano Bridge to Staten Island in the sunset is pretty awesome.

[@hoyasaxa215]

I always liked the Belt Pkwy heading towards Coney Island. I grew up in an immigrant family in Philly but had to pick up relatives at JFK Airport as a kid. From a scenic standpoint, I enjoyed looking at the Twin Towers on the left-hand side and the Coney Island Ferris Wheel on the right. The scenic routes always made these 3-hour trips and back worth the effort.

At 6:30--the scene of my very first fender bender (and yes, it was my fault) on March 27, 1971. I am impressed by the enormity of downtown Brooklyn these days.

I left New York almost 20 Years ago, and it was one of the worst mistakes I ever made in my life. I have been living in Ohio ever since, and I feel like I have been serving a 20 year prison sentence. I am bound and determined to get back to N.Y.C. if it is the last thing I ever do, and at the age of 71 it probably will be. If I can spend one full day in the city of my birth before I die, it will be well worth it!

@@JohnnyAzariaTV Things are just about the same everywhere now. I haven't been to a late movie, or jazz club, or play, or poetry reading in 20 years because there is no public transportation at night. Night time used to be my favorite time. I have been a prisoner at night since I've been here. I'm not talking about a rural town, I'm talking about the capital city of the state! The people are basically hillbillies, and it is the most backward place I've ever seen. I'll take my chances (as I do here anyway) just to be able to get on a subway and go anywhere I want, at any time. My hobby is martial arts, and I am unusually healthy for my age. I was educated in New York (Bronx Science H.S. and Hunter College), and I know how to survive in New York. I know I won't be living anywhere fancy, but then, I never did. Things are no cheaper here. Believe it when I tell you that this place is a living death. Even many of the people who were born here hate it. I always had a love/hate relationship with N.Y.C., but at least this time I will appreciate what it has to offer.
