Amidst mild 83-degree weather on Saturday, New Yorkers flocked to Coney Island, taking advantage of the early spring sun. While some braved the chilly water, others lounged on the beach, with visitors enjoying the opening of Luna Park. Families and teenagers alike ventured out, with many expressing their delight in soaking up the sun. Quotes from day-trippers highlighted their intention to enjoy the beautiful day, despite the strong winds, indicating a strong desire to embrace life outdoors even in early spring.
"I came for the Vitamin D," explained SoHo's Gal Zohar, 47, who spent the day at the beach with her daughter, Alex, who is 5.
"You only live once," offered Matt Zelensky, 17, who was at the beach despite the winds for the first time this year with some friends.
"On a day like today? You can't stay home," Grippo said. "Even though we're going to a different beach tomorrow. In Florida..."
"It's hot, it's amazing," Maoz said. "But the wind is strong, so maybe we won't stay as long. We'll see how long the kids survive."
