Fortunately, New York City boasts not one, but two minor league ball clubs—the Brooklyn Cyclones and the Staten Island Yankees. An easy ride on the D, F, or Q to Coney Island will bring a true fan to Keyspan Park, and great seats at Cyclone games cost less than 20 dollars. Though they lack big names and major league celebrity, the Cyclones field young, earnest players to give the crowd their money’s worth. Keyspan Park offers the chance to break the monotony of a summer of i-banking with a real New York ballgame...
...Mary Oliver. “The Golden Rose is very good luck,” said Der-Hovanessian, noting that several recipients have gone on to win Pulitzer and Nobel prizes. Ferlinghetti read first from his older and better recognized works, including the 1958 collection, “A Coney Island of the Mind.” Midway through the performance, he began a multimedia presentation of post-Sept. 11 poetry: the American natural anthem and bird calls played beneath and between his stanzas, as Ferlinghetti raised and lowered the volume by hand for emphasis. “What?...
Because you see, the other night, I saw "Unknown White Male," the remarkably incisive documentary debut by British director Rupert Murray concerning his friend Doug Bruce who suffers total amnesia on Coney Island.

The blue rectangle has both white and black paint mixed into the blue, and this variation in tone makes...
Amid the chaos and crowds of Coney Island, Ed Zander learned an early lesson in the value of hustle and patience. The son of a furrier in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, Zander loved the Parachute Jump, the Silver Streak and, of course, the Cyclone. After school he and his brother would stand at the exit to Steeplechase Park for hours and charm people out of unused ride tickets, hoarding them in a rented locker. "We had, like, 3,000 free rides," Zander says. By summertime, they could spend all day in the park without ever buying a ticket...
