Our City, Our Secrets: Coney Island
A bit of a New Yorker's secret, where else can you take a subway ride right to the edge of the Atlantic Ocean? Coney Island, Brooklyn, U.S,A. For more than a century it's been a resort and a playground for the mass of people who come to it every year, although tourists rarely venture all the way out there. Home of the famous Astroland whose future is still uncertain, the Wonder Wheel, the rollercoaster known as the Cyclone, the landmark parachute jump, a baseball stadium and of course, world's famous Nathan's and its annual hot dog eating contest. The countdown clock is ticking, summer's just a season away! Come to Coney Island USA.
