coney island

downtown coney island. i agree with rhonda on the old coneyisland. my aunt used to take me there in the late 50,s as i was around 8 or 9 then . they had the old desk,s then . i,d eat 4 or 5 of those things then , 15 cents apiece. a grapette for a dime or so . and we were set . then went up the street to the rialto theatre or whatever the name was and watched a movie . my dad also took me to ikes a lot then, john usmc ret. in nc

the greatest hot dog place ever!! i've not found a single restaurant that i've craved as much as coneyisland& the downtown location feels like you go back in time to a much simpler world. i've not been able to order less than 6 & my personal best is 12.

coneyislandhas been a staple in my life since i was a child! always a favorite for when your craving a good hotdog. these are smaller in size and considered greek style. the buns are steamed and the chili has wonderful flavor. you have an option of adding onion, mustard, chili and cheese to any hotdog. their frito chili pie is pretty tasty as well. grab a soda and a bag of chips and your set!

i grew up in tulsa oklahoma and attended, central high ( downtown) in the sixties. at lunch time (30 min, gulp!) we students would race to the coneyislandon boston.the store windows would be fogged from the steam, during the winter and the smell of those lil dogs were heavenly! customers wld hve their trays loaded! they were only 25 cents then, and delicious! the coney buns were gently steamed warm & moist,( not soggy) onions,finely chopped, yummy chili and tasty, tender, dog! they also had slices of pie,,,,yum! downtown employees and students filled the place at lunch time.
if i'm not mistaken, i think, ikes chili house, was on the same street? now if i cld only say the same about the coneyislanddowntown in tulsa now??? its not the same location and its not the same food either...sorry.. the coney buns were cold ( what happened to steaming?) the chili, flavorless, onions, overwhelming.. .and i hvnt been back ( ten yrs ago) give me the good old days! :( i do not wish to offend anyone again sorry
