Nathan’s normal spot, on Surf Avenue by the subway station, is still being reno’ed after the hurricane damage, so this is the Coney Island location for hot dogs and assorted fried food you might be craving. Everyone goes here. This is the first fur-trimmed wrap I’ve seen on the boardwalk, though that is only because there’s no Mermaid event in cold weather.

After you walk through a dark tunnel, the Stillwell Avenue subway lets out onto Surf Avenue. It’s flat and unremarkable: Nathan’s is to the right, plywood is across the street. No gigantic multicolor lollipops are for sale anywhere in sight. Be patient, though; it’s still winter.

Coney Island is a surreal place. Why not have a Roman soldier in the window of a flower shop? (Better yet, there are two of them.)

The fence says Post No Bills; it says nothing about surreal painted scenes and wordplay. A new building is going up across from the subway terminal. I doubt the storefronts will be as interesting as these paintings on plywood.
