Coney Island

"If Paris is France, then Coney Island, between June and September, is the world." --George Tilyou, 1886 Despite the incessant predictions of its demise, Coney Island continues to attract visitors of all races, social classes and ethnicities who, seeking respite from their quotidian stresses and routines, inject the veins of "America's Playground" with its celebrated joie de vivre.
