This weekend: Luna Park, rooftops, zombies, swap meet
Coney Island’s new Luna Park is set to open with 19 new rides today. Check out the Coney Island History Project’s free exhibit about the original, and take a free walking tour of the area’s remaining historic buildings, several of which are in danger of demolition (including where Harpo Marx first performed with brothers Groucho and Gummo)
Thru Sun: 2 days + 2 rooftops + 21 bands (Ava Luna, Rescue Bird, Magic Man, Red Wire Black Wire, 18 more…) = The Bushwick Rooftop Festival . Free.
