Where to Spend the Holidays if You Are Terribly, Terribly Alone
On the Coney Island Boardwalk
Alone, eh? You’re like a beach in winter! Make the metaphor literal by bundling up to stare out at the expanse of the Atlantic Ocean, its inky infinitude a manifestation of your psychology. Cock your gaze to the left: that’s Breezy Point, where about 100 homes burned to the ground during Sandy; countless others were ruined by floodwaters. Now turn around: Coney Island was also devastated by the storm. Everything is terrible. The End. [photo]
