Coney Island is New Yorks beach. A residential Brooklyn neighborhood that morphs into a relaxation and entertainment destination each summer. Locals and tourists crowd its beach, the Wonder Wheel and Luna Park, an amusement park featuring the famed Cyclone roller coaster.
When I visited on new years day 2017, all the rides were closed but there was a large crowd enjoying the first sunny day of the year.
