Celebrating Coney Island’s Riegelmann Boardwalk scenic landmark status
“We have the sand, we have the sun and now we have the Boardwalk!” exulted NY City Council Speaker Corey Johnson.
Not even a second consecutive month of extreme sultry summer heat could dampen Johnson’s energy and enthusiasm as he addressed the audience in front of Deno’s Wonder Wheel on Aug. 9.
“The Coney Island Boardwalk is not just a Brooklyn icon or a New York City icon, it is indelibly etched in the imagination of our country and around the world,” he said.
