Coney Island Avenue

Coney Island Avenue & Avenue M

Coney Island Avenue is a roadway in the New York City borough of Brooklyn that runs for a distance of roughly five miles, almost parallel to Ocean Parkway. It begins at Brighton Beach Avenue, in Coney Island, and goes all the way to Parkside Avenue (at the southwest corner of Prospect Park), where it becomes Prospect Park Southwest. The near-parallel Ocean Parkway terminates five blocks south and three blocks west of that intersection, becoming the Prospect Expressway (New York State Route 27). Ocean Parkway originally extended all the way to Park Circle, where Coney Island Avenue met Prospect Park, until construction of the Prospect Expressway replaced the northern half-mile of Ocean Parkway, but included ramps over to the edge of Prospect Park.

Coney Island Avenue frontage is dominated by mixed-use housing - pre-war apartment buildings, small shops, including a large number of antique shops, and service businesses. Several bus lines, including the B68 and the X29, run along Coney Island Avenue, connecting the Prospect Park area and Downtown Brooklyn to the famous oceanfront attractions of Coney Island and Brighton Beach.

The major Pakistani community situated on Coney Island Avenue has been dubbed "Little Pakistan". Every year in August, to celebrate Pakistani independence day, a huge Mela (gathering and fair) is held,[1] for which the avenue is closed to traffic. Pakistanis from across the United States take part.
