My New York - Coney Island

I went to Coney Island yesterday, thinking it would be therapeutic  for my nagging cough... the fresh salty air would clear me out, and the sound of the waves would warm my soul. In Manhattan it was sunny and the temperature was creeping up towards the 80s. I took the subway, which takes about an hour. Arriving to Coney Island the weather was windy, hazy and humid. No sun, and the water seemed to have the color of steel, as the waves were crashing in. It is okay, I still love the beach. I don't think there is any kind of weather that would make the beach unappealing to me.

Most people associate Coney Island with the amusement park. It is a New York landmark. I have to say some of the improvements they have implemented in the past two years, lack character. The vintage feel had a charm, but few landmarks were kept as is. One of them is the Wonder Wheel, -though with a new coat of several colors of paint-, and the other is the Cyclone, an old fashioned roller coaster.

Oh and Nathan's with their famous hot dogs. I got one with sauerkraut and mustard. It was too salty for my taste. 

I have to say that the haze and fog added a nice element to the pictures, I have never seen Coney Island this way.

Tegnap kitalaltam, hogy kimegyek az ocean parthoz, talan ez segiteni hogy a nem mulo kohogesemen. Metroval  lehet ki menni Coney Islandre, kb egy ora. En nagyon szeretek ott lenni, az ocean hangja nagyon jo a lelkemnek. Orakat tudok ulni a strandon, es csak nezem a fodrozodo hullamokat. Manhattanben sutott a nap es egyre melegebb lett, 30 fokot igertek. Amikor kiertem Coney Islandre, kod, para es szeles ido fogadott. Nap sehol. Nem baj, nincs olyan ido, amikor azt mondanam, hogy nincs kedvem a strandra menni. Az ocean szurke volt mint az acel, de szep volt megis ahogy a hullamok fodrozodtak a part fele.

Azt hiszem a legtobb ember ha Coney Islandre gondol, a vidam park jut az eszebe. Hires New Yorkban, mert vannak igazan regi jaratai, mint a Wonder Wheel es a Cyclone, ami egy fa alapu hullam vasut. Ket eve elkezdtek felujitani, es sajnos nem sok maradt meg a regi hangulatabol, ezt a ket dolgot leszamitva.

Ja es Nathan's, a hires hot dogos. Hat vettem egyet, mustarral es savanyukaposztaval de sajna az en izlesemnek nagyon sos volt.

Azt kell hogy mondjam, hogy a kodos ido egeszen erdekes kepeket produkalt, meg soha nem lattam Coney Islandet igy.
