I decided to explore another place in the city that I haven't been to in years: Coney Island.  It was so much fun to walk around and take in the sites of the boardwalk and beach on such a beautiful, cool September evening.  I definitely prefer it to the typical crowded summer day! And now that I know it's only  a 25-minute subway ride from my house, I'll definitely go back again for a little evening stroll along the ocean.

I saw this guy for the first time in the Rockaways.  He was wearing a red dress with his parrot perched on his head.  Every time I go to the beach in the city I see him, so it made sense that I would see him in Coney Island!
