Brighton Beach Restaurants

Brighton Beach and Coney Island in Brooklyn, New York - take a pause after you’ve said it. Akin to its older cousin across the pond, Brighton Beach was a designated resort area since the 19th century, then the Coney Island entertainment industry came about: and then the rest followed, including freak shows, parachute towers, peers, and the Boardwalk. They say the first New York sight that could be seen by immigrants from aboard the steamboats approaching America was not the Statue of Liberty (there since 1888), but a Coney Island Hotel shaped as a giant elephant - 122 feet high with seven floors!

The appeal of Brighton Beach and Coney Island is still strong after all these years - a big beach one can escape to in the scorching heat of summer, the annual Mermaid Parade, the New York State Aquarium, the Brooklyn Cyclones baseball field, the Beach Volleyball Championship, the Wonder Wheel... the list goes on and on, and you get hungry just reading it.
