Coney Island: A Ride Through History
Wednesday, September 10, 6:30 - 8:00 p.m.
Charles Denson, author of Coney Island: Lost and Found, will offer an insider’s vivid history of the Coney Island that was his neighborhood. He described the predominant theme of his book as “urban planning gone awry,” a Coney Island that “never had a blueprint or anything resembling a master plan.” That is about to change. Charles Denson will provide a valuable look back, to be followed on September 17 by a MAS panel discussion on the City’s Comprehensive Development and Rezoning Plan for Coney Island.
$15 non-members, $12 MAS members-students. Reservations are required. Purchase tickets online or call 212-935-2075.
