In Coney Island, it’s usual to see people walking their dog or with a snake wrapped round their shoulders. Bearded dragon lizards, guinea pigs and parrots are also a typical sight. On a recent Saturday, ATZ met Earlene, who takes her parakeets for a daily stroll on the Boardwalk. Their birdcage fits neatly into her big blue shopping cart. The Coney Island resident stopped to chat and recite poetry. The yellow parakeet’s name is Yellowbee. The other two are nameless, she said.

Did you know that Ruby’s Bar & Grill, the legendary watering hole on the Boardwalk, has sweet potato fries on the menu? Neither did we until a few weeks ago. Now it’s our fave after-work snack. Delicious with an ice cold beer at the bar made of vintage Boardwalk wood. Ruby’s remains open through the fall and part of the winter. Check their Facebook page for current hours of operation.

Next door to vitrines housing the famous dancing doll “Miss Coney Island” and the toy amusement park “Coney Island Always,” you’ll find Skin the Wire, Roll-A-Coaster and Feed the Clown. These independently owned and operated games are located on Coney Island’s West 12th Street under the Wonder Wheel. After Labor Day, the games are open weekends and school holidays in September and part of October, weather permitting. ATZ will be posting some of our favorite photos of the summer through September 21st.
