A New Way to Enjoy Winter: Nathan's

For a Sunday jaunt into a original activity, consider taking those fun summer activities winter style. Sure, Coney Island is the ultimate summer hotspot for fun rides and drinking times, but guess what? The fabulous Nathan's is open year around. So on a lovely, slightly cold Sunday with the sun shining outside, take the train to Coney Island, stop into Nathan's for a warm hot dog to warm your belly and sip huge 44 ounce beer on tap (not great beer -- usually Coors Light or Bud -- but hey, it's a huge, cheap beer). Walk the board walk and enjoy the Coney Island in its essence -- free of the hipsters and tourists -- these are the real Coney Island people. You can stop into Peggy O'Neill's for another beer, enjoy a few moments of the latest football game and all the men cheering the Jets while sipping a Coney Island Lager. The Lager is not a favorite of mine, the beer a little too bitter for my taste, but in my opinion, if you do a Coney day, you drink the name brand beer Coney Island style.

Hey there. This is Zak from Shmaltz Brewing Company, the makers of Coney Island Lager. Thanks so much for the shoutout. Next time your in CI, try a Coney Island Albino Python at the Freak Bar. We released it about 6 months ago. It's a white lager (the only one in the country) brewed with orange peel, ginger, and crushed fennel. Definitely not as bitter as the Coney Island Lager and very delicious. Cheers!
