I’d never been to Coney Island until this recent trip to New York City.

It was our first outing upon my arrival in the city — my mom and brother had arrived the day before — and it was a sweltering hot day. None of us had thought to bring swimsuits or towels, so our options were limited to Nathan’s and the boardwalk. I was fine with that: It was too hot to wait in line for the rides or to do anything but eat at Nathan’s, walk around and then eat mango-on-a-stick and Italian ice.

wish i had known. if you had told me, i would have told you to visit the aquarium next door.
We were going to… but it was going to close in about 45 minutes, and we didn’t think that small amount of time was worth the cost of full admission.
