紐約2007年活動公告

死撐
六月到紐約旅遊的棧友, 時間如果充裕, 可以在週末到康尼島 (Coney Island) 逛逛, 周邊的店家很有老美國的風味, 古老的遊樂園十分精典, 著名的 nathan's 熱狗本店和熱狗大賽就在這裡舉行

------------------------------
歡樂夏日來臨,以夏日遊憩著名的布碌崙康尼島遊樂區(Coney Island Astroland)也排出免費活動,其中包括男性最愛的「美人魚遊行」和風靡孩童的夏日煙火。

6月22日起至8月底,是康尼島特有的周五晚間煙火秀季節,只要天氣許可,每周五晚間8時30分到10時,在10街和12街之間,沿著海灘的木板步道(Boardwalk)上施放煙火,並將有Miss Saturn's Hula-Pa-Looza歌舞表演。

6月23日(周六)第廿三屆美人魚遊行(Mer-maid Parade),雖然在下午2時才開始,但每年遊行當天,從上午就會看到許多年輕美女,有的盛裝打扮成美人魚,有的在炎炎夏日穿著清涼,還有些人會自製特殊服裝,或在各種車輛上化裝,播音樂,勁車加美女,舞動出激情一夏。

6月26日(周二)中午,為慶祝Cyclone雲霄飛車80周年慶,將開生日派對,該雲霄飛車將在今年夏天結束後風光退場,進行整修改建。

7月4日國慶日,雖是周三,康尼島也不能缺席,主辦單位表示預計會有特別活動,屆時再宣布活動內容。7月10日(周二)為警察日(Police Anchor Day)。7月21日(周六)的賽倫音樂嘉年華(Siren Music Festival)也是一大盛事,希臘神話中的女海妖賽倫,擅長以迷幻歌聲媚惑航海人,使人不知不覺落入她的陷阱,被海吞噬,這場音樂嘉年華,由下午2時開始,號稱就像賽倫的歌聲一樣,瘋狂炫麗,讓人無法自拔。

查詢活動詳情可電(718)265-2100,亦可上網www.astroland.com。

康尼島海灘位於布碌崙最南端,搭乘地鐵N、D、Q、F到終站,逕直走向最南端的海灘區即可。海灘有洗手間和淋浴設備,均免費。【摘自世界日報】

International Hot Dog Eating Contest (食熱狗大賽)

Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest

Wednesday, July 4, 2007
9:00 AM - 10:00 AM

Coney Island
1208 Surf Ave.
Brooklyn, New York 11224
一襲素衣
以下地點是看7/4 MACY'S 煙花最好的地點。當然是先到先得。通常都非常塞車。

Manhattan
The best place to view the fireworks is from the FDR drive in New York City.
The FDR drive is always closed from Houston to 63rd street, so there is lots of space, but to get the best view you should be between 23rd and 42nd street on the FDR.
The only way to access the FDR is from the access ramps at 23rd 38th and 42nd street.
The pedestrian access times for the FDR are:
Southbound lanes of the FDR drive from 14th to 42nd Street will be open for the public from 7:30pm to 10:00pm. On-ramp entrances for pedestrians (including the disabled) are located at 23rd, 38th, and 42nd streets. The FDR Drive will be closed to all vehicular traffic between Houston St. and 63rd St. from 7:00pm until 1:00am.

Brooklyn and Queens
You can see decent views from Hunter's Point, Queens, Greenpoint, Brooklyn, and anywhere with an unobstructed view of the East River between 23rd & 42nd Sts, but as you a little bit further away, it wont be nearly as much fun.

New Jersey
As New York views New Jersey like another planet, the views from New Jersey are pretty poor. On the cliff edge in Englewood Cliffs, Palisades Park and Cliffside Park will provide some glimpses into the action (Albeit small and infrequent) - Though its still probably better than watching it on TV.
