Eye on Real Estate: The People’s Playground is a place of comfort and solace during the novel coronavirus pandemic.
Coney Island, with its famed Boardwalk running beside the Atlantic Ocean, provides a fresh-air escape venue with ample room for the social distancing that’s urgently needed while New York suffers through the onslaught of the deadly disease.
