On a warm March day, New Yorkers flocked to Coney Island despite strong winds, enjoying the beach atmosphere as temperatures reached 83 degrees. Families and groups of friends took advantage of the first warm Saturday of the year, with many expressing joy at the sunny weather. Residents reminisced about the last time the city hit such temperatures in March, with comments highlighting the importance of outdoor time and Vitamin D, as well as plans for future beach outings. The atmosphere was vibrant, marking a seasonal shift towards outdoor activities.
"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.
"It's too cold," Zohar said. "But the sun is out and [Alex] has wanted to go to the beach for so long, so I'm like, 'OK, let's do it.'"
"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, including Sasha Gowizk, also 17.
"On a day like today? You can't stay home," Grippo said. "Even though we're going to a different beach tomorrow. In Florida. I couldn't stay at home on a day like this.
