Coney Island USA Gift Shop

It’s not a Coney Island adventure without a visit to 1208 Surf Ave, home to the Coney Island Museum, the Coney Island Circus Sideshow, and the Coney Island USA Gift Shop, which is attached to an offbeat and well-air-conditioned bar called Freak Bar. Visit this very official gift shop for handmade gifts, Mermaid Parade merch, artwork featuring niche iconography, and more. Catch a show, learn a thing or two at the museum, hit the gift shop and then settle in for a cold, local beer. Sounds like a perfect outing to me!
