Coney Island USA’s landmarked headquarters, 1208 Surf Avenue, is celebrating its 100th birthday this fall. We’re honoring New York’s oldest home for freaks, geeks, and merfolk with a special campaign to support our Coney Island Museum. As the only accredited institution uniquely dedicated to preserving and presenting the history of Coney Island, the Museum is vital to ensuring the legacy of the People’s Playground lives on. Your gift is not only a testament to Coney Island’s amazing history, but an investment in its next 100 years. Make your gift today by texting CIMUSEUM to 71777 or online here!
Kitchen 21 is inspired by the history of Coney Island and the modern food scene in New York. Built in 1923, the space previously held a location of the famous Childs Restaurants. Fast forward to 2017, and everything has changed. The building is now a designated New York City landmark, and is adjacent to the new Ford Amphitheater–an outdoor live entertainment venue boasting 5,000 seats.
While the building still pays homage to the original architecture, it also features an updated look and feel that reflects the culture of Brooklyn today. Kitchen 21 provides innovative takes on classic American dishes, and with an eighty-four foot bar and live music every week, guests can create new experiences each time they visit.
