After reading an article today in the New York Times about winter life in Coney Island, I was amazed at how gloomy the assessment was... no people... just damp and cold. It was totally opposite of my experiece just last week.

We arrived in the midst of a sandstorm. While it made it hard to walk along the beach, in fear of being blinded by sand, the air was crisp and quite invigorating, and best of all we had the place to ourselves.


Coney Island is actually a great place to visit in the winter when its free of the summer masses and you're free to explore. And you can still enjoy a hot dog and fries at Nathan's, which is open year-round, although we were shocked by the price of a hot dog these days at nearly 3 bucks.

Here are some of the other winter sights in Coney!
