Coney Island

161_2
in the Pakistani restaurant,


We hanged around Coney Island avenue from Fort Hamiltom today. We took a bus, and Nada indicated us to get off when we arrived characteristic street. At first, we got off a bus at Pakistani area, and walked for a while watching Islam culture like Mosques, restaurants, tailors, etc. Then, suddenly, it changed Jewish culture streets when we passed a small bridge(I forgot the name, sorry)! Can you imagine that? Anevue J is a famous Jewish street, so we hanged out there and watched a lot of Jewish people and culture. I was interested in the famous pizzeria, Di Fara Pizzeria, where Nada described like "Once you eat there, you can't eat any pizza without there". I must try!!

After there, we took bus again, then we headed for restaurant for lunch. We got off at Turkish area, and had lunch at Sahara Mediterranean Palace. There was a good courtyard covered with the grapevine, ans we had typical wonderful turkish food under that.

Then, we shifted to the Brighton Beach where is famous for Russian community. I got surprised because most of Russian women were very eccentric fashions like colored, permed hair style, flamboyant clothes. I thought Russia is more conservative country, so I had a wrong picture. I should throw away my prejudice!

Coney Island, it was foggy day,


At last, we arrived at the Coney Island. It seemed more lively than that I came here first, but still it seemed a lonely place. We rode the Cyclone, the roller coaster, again, and had fun!
