NYCGO's Insider Guide Gives a Highlight Tour of Coney Island

The Insider Guide from NYCGO may be from the City's tourism agency, but it is still a good way for locals to get the pulse of an unknown neighborhood too.

In this neighborhood highlights video, the series covers the food, activities and interesting elements of Coney Island, "New York's Amusement Park."

For more than a century, this Brooklyn neighborhood is where New Yorkers have come to play. In this video, a sideshow performer, the proprietor of a famous local pizzeria and the neighborhood's unofficial mayor let you know why the seaside getaway (and attractions like the terrifying Cyclone roller coaster) are still irresistible today.
