Coney Island

Followers will remember all about Nathan's Famous Hot Dogs and also the annual hot dog eating competition. The Blog is sure they will be interested to know that this year Joey Chestnut raised the record to 69.

Followers will also know all about the famous Fun Fair. Unfortunately for the tour and fortunately for the Blog this was closed by the time the tour arrived and looked a sorry sight all locked up and empty.

It was quiet along the boardwalk as the season was over but it was still pleasing to take in the sea air and the smell of Nathan's hot dogs.

The local fireman were out for a beer or two at Ruby's and must have decided there would be no fires that afternoon.
