coney island on new years day I
Coney Island. Brooklyn, NY
Take the Q or some other weird train down to the end of the earth. Dont freak out. Itll take forever, but you will be rewarded. Coney Island awaits: all the food, Cyclone rides, and pale, half-naked gross people you can handle. This was my first time going, seduced by the Siren Festival and its promises of Surfer Blood, Ted Leo, and Matt + Kim. What I ended up doing was eating corn dogs, steak fries, and ice cream. I’m not sure what happened. Blame the heat stroke. The bathroom I went to was located at the base of the Wonder Wheel. I thought the 25 cent charge for the toilet was reasonable. Yes, you heard right, you have to pay a quarter to pee. I give it 3 flushes. It wasn’t as gross as you’d think and the ladies in there were pros at standing in line.
