The rides are closed for the winter in Coney Island, but in a shop window in the West Village, we found a toy carnival awhirl amid Christmas ornaments. There’s even a roller coaster called “Cyclone.”

ATZ spotted these classic images of the Astroland Rocket atop Gregory & Paul’s roof and the Cyclone roller coaster in a shop window on Sixth Avenue at 12th in Greenwich Village. As we framed our shot, a couple walked by and the man sang out “Astroland!” We sang back: “Coney Island opens for the season on March 28th!” The gallery owner says he sells five or six of the canvas prints per month. The original photos are by Erin Clark.
