Brooklyn's Coney Island, or the more dialectical term of Rabbit Island, exploded in the late 19th and early 20th-century following the introduction of the Coney Island & Brooklyn Railroad streetcar line. Since then the area was swamped with new resorts and attractions, including the ever-famous Luna Park. Following the decline of World War II and the years of neglect the park endured after, the area has burst back into life and is home to Astroland Amusement Park, the Aquarium and of course, the beach. A three-mile-long boardwalk runs the length of Coney Island into Brighton Beach. There is sometimes a circus, and always something strange to see. Also, Don't let the cooler months deter you from visiting- it is much less crowded, and the stores remain open.
