Op-ed: Coney Island deserves a ferry. It deserves a clean creek, too.

August 8, 2021

You don’t have to live in Coney Island to know the traffic there sucks. The amusement parks, beaches, ballpark and amphitheater are a global destination and despite ample subway service many choose to drive there. And why not? The area lacks basic bicycling infrastructure. Bus service is spotty and unreliable.

Keeping with social distancing guidelines amid the COVID-19 pandemic, organizers of the annual candlelight ceremony at the 9/11 memorial instead held a small observance for mourners to stop by the wall to light a candle, say a prayer, and pay their respects to those lost. Members of the FDNY and NYPD are clad in face masks for a scaled-back version of the annual prayer vigil…

Ahead of a reimagined Nathan’s Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest, a team of elite eaters gathered on a Williamsburg rooftop on Friday to weigh in for a pandemic edition of the annual food-fest.

Swastika found near Coney Island Jewish community center

November 24, 2019

Locals were left appalled after a swastika was found sketched into a park bench near a Jewish center in Coney Island on Thursday. “The sensitivity that’s related to this type of anti-Semitism is a source of devastating emotional trauma,” said Rabbi Moshe Wiener, the executive director of the Jewish Community Council of Greater Coney Island. “This is definitely a source of immense trauma for the populations we’re dealing with.” A jogger first spotted the hateful symbol scribbled on a bench along the Coney Island Boardwalk near W. 37th Street …

May 26, 2019

A new exhibit opening Saturday in Coney Island brings to light a bygone era when the seaside neighborhood was instrumental in saving the lives of hundreds of thousands of immigrants. From the 1870s to the 1920s, immigrant women and children would come to live in nonprofit summer homes to escape the disease-filled tenement houses of the Lower East Side and elsewhere. The immigrants, many of whom were sick, would come to the neighborhood for its fresh air and would see their…
