"This excellent concession stand at Golden Gardens is offering a Hanukkah spread available for preordering online until Wednesday, December 9th. There are various meal options, from a confit brisket meal and latkes to Concord grape sufganiyot and matzo ball soup." - aimee rizzo
"Little Coney earns its place on this guide mostly because it’s at the marina next to Golden Gardens, and it’s probably the only place in town where you can get old-school soft serve where the mix comes from a carton. Everyone knows that this is the best soft serve in the world. It’s creamy, artificially-flavored, and exactly what you need while flying a kite around on the shore trying to remember why it is that you own a kite. This snack shack also serves classic burgers and fries, and they’re fine - just make sure to bring salt with you, or dip your food in the Puget Sound. It all needs so much salt." - aimee rizzo
"Everyone knows that some of the best soft serve comes from a commercially-made ice cream base. And one of the only places in Seattle that understands this is Little Coney. It’s a burger joint in Golden Gardens that has some forgettable burgers and fries but very excellent vanilla and chocolate swirl cones. Strolling along the beach while catching sweet rogue drips with your tongue is one of the best Golden Gardens activities up there with securing a grill before anyone else and not getting hit in the shin with a frisbee." - Aimee Rizzo, Kayla Sager Riley
"If you couldn’t care less about ice cream infused with herbs or wild seasonal berries, go to Little Coney at Golden Gardens. This burger and fries spot (where we don’t really care about either of those things) serves great soft serve, and we recommend ordering a towering supermarket cake cone pumped with artificially-flavored swirl, adding some sprinkles, and then taking it to Little Coney’s outdoor patio seating. Otherwise known as the beach." - Aimee Rizzo, Kayla Sager Riley
