Coney Island?
 
Sorry to sound uninformed, but can anyone tell me where and how to get to Coney Island? We're going to Manhattan in a couple of weeks and would like to visit, and have a Nathan's hotdog!

Last stop of the F train to Brooklyn. Check announcents on the subway as I think I saw some major work to be done soon.

There are three trains that will take you to Stillwell AVe/Coney Island. The F, Q, and W<BR>You can get an F train in midtown on 6th Avenue and 42nd ST. THe Q and W can be taken at the Tmes SQuare station. <BR>

It's quite a long ride, by the way, almost an hour.

Nathan's is great. I work for Keyspan Energy Services and am frequently in our Coney Island office. When there I always eat at Nathan's. THis is the real thing. Do not settle for a franchise.

You can get there on the Q. Also goes to Brighton Beach in about 3 mins. Wonderful Russian food and another ethnic adventure in NYC.

Thanks all for replying so quickly! Appreciate the warning about the long train ride. I'm looking forward to that Nathan's dog!<BR><BR>

<BR><BR>If you plan to ride the Cyclone or other options at the various Coney Island amusement parks, don't eat your Nathan's beforehand. You'll hurl, or wish you did. Trust me. <BR><BR>
