Brooklyn: Coney Island & Neil Diamond

« The Freakin Ligers are playing Bowery Ballroom | Roots Manuva @ Knitting Factory Saturday »

Brooklyn Roads "The amusements of Coney Island are humming again, fewer than in their prime last century but certainly with a lively carny buzz, complete with freak show. Coaster buffs adore the Cyclone, and they should."

"Lundy's. The Lundy brothers are long gone (there's an interesting story there; you won't read it here), and it's had a ride bumpier than the Cyclone's—but the restaurant, its raw bar and its pure Brooklynism have survived.

Neil Diamond, I'm told, was a regular here. Woody Allen's picture with the owners is on the wall."
