"We’re guessing a large swath of children and their adult creators will be heading to the Rockaways or Coney Island this weekend. So if you’ve never been to Brighton Beach, this is an excellent time to check out the area just a little further east of Coney Island. We have a ton of ideas about where you should be eating there, including this market full of Central Asian specialties. You’ll end up circling the hot bar and gyro station like a hawk who has spotted a ground squirrel. Embrace the hawk lifestyle, and pounce on piles of plov, baklava, and cold-smoked fish." - hannah albertine
