EXT, Coney Island, NYC, Day - New York City III

I saw a picture in the New York Times of a parachute jump thing out in Coney Island, so I took the D train out there for the day. This most legendary place is also famous for its more than hundred years old wooden roller coaster, nathan's hot dogs and very strange people on the beach.

It did not take me long to figure out that the red eiffeil tower structure has not spit a parachute for more than 30 years, the picture I saw was merely an ad of the Coney Island museum. The wooden roller coaster still works but yet closed for the day. Ample hot dogs at Nathan's, yet i missed the world hog dog eating contest in June, where a skinny japanese guy wins every time, his technique was to eat the dog and the bun separately and dipped in water, even the bun.

Sun was out, with a ocean breeze from the atlantic, on the beach, i was in high spirit.

A muscular man on a mountain bike stopped in front of me, who later introduced himself to be Michael, the electrician, next best thing to a plumber. It had to be a very seductive scene right out of a Martin Scorsese film. He insisted to take a picture of me with my own camera, because I was beautiful as he said and I believed him so. I now have a picture of me with the Conely Island city housing projects in the background.

Cut to, Nathan's hot dog stand at board walk. Sweet Michael bought me a original beef hotdog and started telling me the history of the island with the thickest brooklyn accent that you can imagine. I hate hotdogs, but had to let the story continue, I took the hot dog with no toppings no sauces as I insisted and he thought i was strange girl.

I wonder if Martin Scorses will arrange to have the two character fall in love right then. I put on a very sweet smile while wiping away the grise of the hog dog on my mouth, yet, love, did not happen. I then said that I would go further west on the beach to see some fishermen. Michael said with authority, 'if you really want to go, i will not stop you, but Just be careful and don't talk to any black guys'

There i said goodbye to the reasonably good looking and warm hearted white guy and ventured into the part of the Coney Island beach filled with negros and danger...
