Time Out New York / Issue 628 : Oct 11–17, 2007

Sights & Blights

Icons: Sights

Love ’em or hate ’em (we do some of each), these things are sooo New York.

1 Yellow cabs
2 The Pepsi sign
3 Katz’s Delicatessen
4 Wonder Wheel
5 Water towers
Sights 6–10

This 150-foot-tall Coney Island staple has been thrilling (and boring) riders for 87 years. Its Americana color scheme is the stuff of some idyllic carnival in the Midwest, but its neon-lit whirl at nightfall is distinctly New York. So iconic is the creaky old girl, Japan built a full-size replica of it in 1964.

  Personally liked the boxy old cabs better.
