There’s no funnel cake for sale this time of year in Coney Island, but you can get Brussels sprouts on the stalk. The Coney Island Farmers’ Market is on Surf Avenue at West 16th Street in front of MCU every Sunday from July to mid-November. Hours are 7am through 3pm, but Alex’s Tomato Farm was still there when we strolled by after 4 on Sunday.

Now that Coney’s amusement parks are closed for the season and temps are in the 40s, we’re starting to see depressing comments on social media:

Went to an abandoned Coney Island to help a friend out on a shoot

Coney Island (amusement park) looks like a ghost town

Missing the summer and the rides on the “Wheel”…

Don’t remind me

Me too

Hey, Coney’s Opening Day is only 140 days away! Palm Sunday is early next year, on March 29th.

Your Chance to Own a Souvenir Chair from Ruby’s Bar

Whether you’re a regular at Ruby’s Bar & Grill or a fan who drops by on Mermaid Day, here’s your chance to own an original chair from the legendary watering hole on the Coney Island Boardwalk. Ruby’s co-owner Michael Sarrel told ATZ the chairs are up for sale because they are getting new seating. The price is right — only ten bucks–marked down from $18. On a snowy day at home, you can tip back on your souvenir chair and imagine you’re back at Ruby’s in Coney Island and it’s summer.

Last week, Ruby’s November and December schedule was posted on the bar’s website: “From now until Jan. 1, we will be closed, BUT our bar will be open on weekends (weather permitting). For updates, please check our Facebook page. As is our tradition, we WILL be open for the Polar Bear Club’s annual plunge on New Year’s Day. Ruby’s is looking forward to seeing you again in 2015!”
