Exploring NYC : Coney Island, Brooklyn & Subway Ride in March 2023

Coney Island is a peninsula located in the southern part of Brooklyn, New York City. It is known for its beach, amusement parks, boardwalk, and historic attractions.
The beach at Coney Island stretches for almost three miles along the Atlantic Ocean, and is a popular destination for locals and tourists during the summer months. The beach is also home to Nathan's Hot Dogs, which has been serving up its famous franks since 1916.
Several of the amusement rides at Coney Island are the Cyclone roller coaster and the Wonder Wheel. In addition to the amusement park, Coney Island also has a number of historic attractions, including the Coney Island Museum and the New York Aquarium.

I went to Coney Island in 1967 with my late parents and our tenant. My father was the landlord of the 2 family house we lived in. And she our tenant was foreign born and it was already famous in her native country.

[@daz5369]

I’m not American but I’d love to visit Coney Island, New York more specifically, at some point in the future. I have a question in regards to Coney Island however… One of my favourite films, “The Warriors (1979)” was obviously shot and filmed in New York and Coney Island, does anybody know if you can buy any merchandise related to said movie in Coney Island?

[@honni1098]

There are shops where you can get T-shirts and stuff. Near the Coney Island/Stillwell subway station I bought some merchandise of The Warriors. Mainly clothing of course but of a good quality.

The Aquarium is such a nice place to visit! It's an iconic part of Coney Island.

[@davidcarbone3385]

@@ActionKid Definitely is! I've been to the one in Camden, NJ and Baltimore, but I will have to check out this one. Thank-you! You mentioned in a tour how you have a 6th sense for picking out good places to eat. Me, too! lol. Idk what it is but I can just tell from the outside, haha. It's definitely a good skill to have! If you were to do another video in Jersey, Princeton would be a great tour. The University, Einstein's house, the main drag with shops, etc, the park where one of the revolutionary wars was fought, etc etc etc

My maternal aunt (my mother's younger sister) and her family used to live near Coney Island, and I remember visiting there for a few days in 1982, with me walking to Coney Island intending to check out the amusent park, but only going as far as the boardwalk, and a small video arcade on said boardwalk that had a jukebox, which I used to listen to each time I visited it. This is another amazing video by you, Action Kid, keep up the great work. 6:06-The bus area at this subwway staion looks like the ones at some of our subway stations here in Toronto (this one looks like the Wilson Station complex in the borough of North York, with it's areas for shops and services plus the buses and subways.)

[@ActionKid]

Very nice! Glad you had the opportunity to visit Coney Island back then

[@Neville60001]

@@ActionKid, as I said, I really didn't get to see the park or the rides, just that place on the boardwalk. Thank you anyway.🙂😉 EDIT: I wonder mif my aunt's apartment building is still where it used to be when I and my family visited there in 1982?

Coney island brings a lot of good memories, especially in my childhood I remember it being Astroland back in the early 2000s.

[@Neville60001]

From that name, it sounds like Astroland was space/sci-fi based: am I right about that, Stephanie?

[@ActionKid]

I remember it being called Astroland too! Originally it was Steeplechase Park!

[@freddypflugbeil6]

Wow Action kid. I remember the Nathan's in hill crest Spring Valley New York back in the day. Hotdog. Potato kanesh and white fish salad

Grew up in the Midwest and have lived in Florida in the Orlando metro for 25 years now. But I was in NYC for a full week in 2022 in April, and finally got out to Coney Island. Even though o had to go by myself. Rode the Cyclone once, the Wonder Wheel twice (stationary and moving cars) got some fresh clams at Pete’s Clam’s and a Brooklyn Lager, a hot dog at the boardwalk Nathan’s, and walked to the end of the pier. Living in Orlando so long, it’s very hard to be very thrilled with what Coney Island has. But still, it’s historic and bucket list stuff. Places like it walked so places like Disney, Universal, or Six Flags could run. So it was really neat to finally see and experience in person.
