Sculpture by Tom Otterness at the 8th Avenue subway station at 14th street 

A new artificial island park where all New Yorkers and visitors can experience nature and art in a unique urban oasis on the Hudson River. The park features a lush, seasonal, landscape with rolling hills, winding pathways and dazzling views coupled with programming that includes music, dance, theater, poetry, comedy and arts workshops for all ages.

Only a 40-minute subway ride from my apartment and a world unto itself, Coney Island is always a new experience and like seaside weather, it’s always different. I stumbled upon this kite festival one grey fall afternoon. Other visits have yielded dance parties on the boardwalk, roller coaster rides, shandies in plastic cups on the beach, a trip to "Little Odessa", and a myriad of interesting characters and experiences.

Great Bar with LIVE music! absolutely worth a visit! Backyard/Outdoor area closes 9pm for music indoors! :)

Founded by a small team of film enthusiasts, Brooklyn Film Camera is one of NYC’s premier destinations for analog photographers.
