Coney Island
Just a few blocks away from my house lay a boardwalk, a boardwalk famous for multiple aspects, but most famous for its hot dogs. This boardwalk is “Coney Island.” Coney Island has many different attractions including a beach, an amusement park, an aquarium, an ice rink, circus shows, summer fireworks and plenty of other things. Coney Island was discovered in the 1600s by Henry Hudson and by the 1800s people came to Coney Island to spend their vacations by hotels and bathhouses.
By the early 1900s, Coney Island became home to many amusement parks attracting many tourists and visitors. By then, Coney Island became an icon of fun. All advertisements of Coney Island depicted people having a great time either by the park or lying by the beach. Coney Island was considered the “playground of the world” where all that was fun occurred there. Between the games and the rides, Coney Island was the epitome of enjoying time.
