On Coney Island’s Opening Weekend, ATZ was the second customer of the season to order a plate of clams at Paul’s Daughter on the Boardwalk. Delicious!
We followed up with our favorite fries. The former Gregory & Paul’s, now operated by Paul and his daughter Tina, has been in business more than 50 years.
Coney’s Boardwalk eateries and shops are now open daily, weather permitting, while the rides are open weekends in the spring.

This photo of the fresh stock of beach chairs at Brooklyn Beach Shop on the Coney Island Boardwalk was taken in March but the stretch of cold weather kept us from posting it sooner. At last, the forecast is glorious–mostly sunny and in the mid-60s for Sunday, Monday, Tuesday… Perfect weather to plant your chair on Coney Island beach for the first time this season.

ATZ recommends the chair with the canopy in the top right of the photo. We own a similar one. Beach Shop owner Maya Haddad Miller calls it “The Brighton Chair” because it’s a favorite of customers from Brighton Beach.

Palm Sunday is Coney Island’s traditional opening day and some visitors came directly from church with palm fronds in hand to the Blessing of the Rides. And then we spotted these beautiful palm bouquets! Next Sunday, expect to see folks in Easter bonnets and their Sunday best.
