Everything about Coney Island seems to carry a certain fascinating charm-from how it came to be called Coney Island to the thrills it had to offer. Some believe that the name Coney Island originated from Dutch names like "Konjn Kok" which later evolved to Coney. Others feel the conical shaped sand bars that form along the shoreline inspired sailors to call it Coney Island.This DVD provides a glimpse of what it was like to be on the famous island in the 50s. It also enables you to have a close look at the magnificent natural wonder-the Niagara Falls and see what the famous Manhattan waterfront looked like in the early part of the 20th century.

Poorly Titled But Good DVD

What the title of this DVD should make clear is that ALL of the footage comes from New York State. That doesn't bother me since I was born and raised in New York, but if you are not interested in New York, this DVD may not be for you. The best clips are of Niagra Falls and of the early growth of Coney Island - which was a much different place 50 years ago. The New York Docks scenes reminded me of The Wire, but obviously from a much more realistic perspective. All in all a good set of clips about New York.
