6 Food-Related Memorial Day Activities We Wholeheartedly Endorse
It’s no secret that Coney Island and the Rockaways took a serious beating during Hurricane Sandy, but they’ve doubled their efforts to be up and running again by Memorial Day. Totonno’s, Gargiulo’s and the new Grimaldi’s are all in business in Coney, and after a small fire, the original Nathan’s is still on schedule to reopen for the big weekend. And while rebuilding the boardwalk remains a long-term project in the Rockaways, “islands” have been created to house favorite food vendors like Rockaway Taco, Caracas Arepas and Rippers, providing an engine of commerce to the storm-ravaged neighborhood.
