Brooklyn – September 2019 – A Day at the Beach

Art, Transportation

A sunny Sunday in the city – a perfect time to go to Coney Island.



Even though it was warm the beach was almost vacant.



As was the boardwalk.




A perfect time to stop for some Nathan’s Hot Dogs.



Back on the boardwalk we met a zombie baseball team.



There is currently a large collection of very unique murals on walls placed around a common space. The artists came from all over the world.













It was time to get back on the train to Manhattan….




But not before stopping at the Brighton Beach station where the MTA museum was running a number of vintage trains.







A great way to spend a few hours at the beach – Brooklyn style.

Architecture, Festival, History, Nature

Since we were in the area and I have never been there, we stopped by Coney Island for lunch at Nathans!

After our nutritious and delicious lunch we took a walk on the boardwalk.

Even though it was a beautiful summer day (the day after Memorial Day) the place was empty for 1 PM.

They even have a palm tree on the beach (which is actually a misting palm tree)

Having seen photos of Coney Island my entire life it was cool to see it in person, with the tall apartment buildings in the background.

The pier appears to have been recently refurbished.
