Come Visit Coney Island

Wondering where to go to celebrate the 4th in New York? Coney Island, Baby! 

Arrive early and stroll the boardwalk for some world-class people-watching, grab a Nathan’s hotdog and catch a Cyclones game at Maimonides Park, soak up some rays on the beach, take a ride on the Cyclone roller coaster, and stick around for the main event; the hotdog eating contest at Nathan’s Famous. Be there to witness firsthand Joey Chestnut attempting to break his own record of eating an appallingly astonishing 70 dogs and buns in 10 minutes! This contest is the Super Bowl of competitive eating (yeah, that’s a thing). 

Whether it's cheering for the Cyclones, savoring a delicious hot dog, or witnessing a remarkable display of competitive eating, Coney Island promises an adventure like no other.
