3. Sandy-scarred Coney Island showed new signs of life Thursday as famed Grimaldi’s pizzeria reopened in time for Memorial Day weekend — the unofficial start of summer.
At a small gathering, Borough President Marty Markowitz munched margherita pizza along with members of his entourage and commercial diver Gene Ritter.
Five years back, Ritter turned up a 500-pound brass bell in the waters off Coney Island, which is now hanging inside the Surf Ave. staple for all to see.
“Coney Island is back and there’s no two ways about it,” said Joseph Silvestri, Grimaldi’s general manager. “People thought we weren’t coming back, but we were coming back. We’re too invested in the area.”
