Description

Why Coney Island? Well, there is the hot dog competition, and if you can eat 55 you might be able to win next year. There is the boardwalk and the nasty New York harbor water, but, most importantly, Coney Island has an old school freak show, or sideshow, as they call it. See a sword eater, a bug eater, a contortionist, a mermaid (really just a stripper with a tail), and more! And of course, all those games to win stuffed animals. Hours: Easter-Memorial Day Sat & Sun; Memorial Day-Labor Day Daily; Labor Day-late September Sat & Sun

  • 2008 | Best Place to Walk on Glass

    Coney Island has long been NYC's go-to spot for sideshows and freak shows--sword swallowers, fire eaters, people straightening out their deviated septums by pounding nails up their nostrils. Such exotic thrills, though, need not be limited to the tattooed performers--indeed, anyone can practice daredevilry at Coney Island. How? By walking barefoot on broken glass. Where? Why, on the very beach itself! Coney Island's not exactly pristine sand is composed of a startling amount of broken bo... More »
