Coney Island? Hm... I suppose it has a certain charm. My favorite NYC-accessible summer destinations are New England ($15 each way with Bolt Bus to get to Boston) or the Berkshires (absolutely gorgeous any time of year.) Or Martha's Vineyard!

A group of us were supposed to have gotten together this summer and go to Coney Island as a group. But as yet, that has not happened.

That would have been great! Pity I'm traveling at the moment, although looks like I'll be back home in the city in December! Perfect for a united family Christmas.

Hasn't it always been the ultimate summer destination?

I feel like it's the ultimate summer destination for vagrants . . .

@JenMac: That's what my girlfriend said when she went down there to do a gig a few weeks ago. Nothing but vagrants and other low-lifes there. Not a pleasant place to be.

@JenMac Ha!

@everyone I think summer is the best time to get out of the city for a day or two. I thought this was a cool summer getaway feature in TimeOut a few weeks back: http://newyork.timeout.com/articles/travel/87420/101-summer-getaways-summer-travel

I especially want to get to that romantic inn with the claw-foot bathtubs in Canandaigua.

I think Coney Island was more of a ultimate summer destination in the days before mass transit and automobiles for everyman. I think I'll take my chances on Long Island.

I've actually never been to Coney Island, although I've lived for 10 years in NYC. Perhaps I should go when I next return to visit my grandma! Unfortunately I tend to only be in NYC in the winters...which rather complicates matters...
