    Is Coney Island still worth going to? I thought it got obliterated by that hurricane? My fiancee is coming from overseas soon and I want to show her America, so we’ll definitely be visiting NYC… Would you recommend visiting there while we’re in the area?

      Oh it’s an amazing place, you should dedicate an entire day to it because there’s so much to do! Be sure to stop by the sideshow at Freak Bar and say hi to all my friends! Also check out It’s Sugar, the boardwalk (get lunch at Rudy’s or Nathan’s), the amusement parks, and the aquarium.

        Thanks, that’s good to hear. I didn’t know there was anything there but an abandoned amusement park. I should go there some time

          That was the old Astroland. There’s two parks in operation right now, Luna Park and the Wonder Wheel park

        Well that makes me regret not stopping by there when I was in the area for work. Never been to an official sideshow; only a couple unofficial ones.
