New York is a complete city. It even has a long beach, Coney Island Beach. This used to be a very popular beach a long time ago. Nowadays locals prefer going east to the Hamptons further out on Long Island.
Located on the boardwalk at Coney Island is the famous Nathan’s, where urban legend says hot dogs were born. Not far from here you can also enjoy a Russian meal in one of Little Odessa's (as the area is known), beach restaurants. Not far from here there is a fun fair.
