Yes folks, Coney Island is alive and kicking. A bit different than last season, but there are many of the old favorites ready for the new season. My favorite spot on the Boardwalk, Ruby’s Bar & Grill will be open Easter Sunday (yeah!), another fave is Eldorado Bumper Cars (bump yer ass off!), of course, stop at Nathan’s for a Dog & Fries and ride the Cyclone. THIS JUST IN… RINGLING BROS. “BOOM-A-RING” CIRCUS WILL BE SPENDING THE SUMMER IN CONEY ISLAND. VISIT THE LINK FOR MORE INFO. SURE TO BE A GREAT TIME FOR ALL! http://www.ringling.com/TopLanding.aspx?id=11608
