As I mentioned the other day, the beach fixes everything. Not only did it cure my 2 week congestion streak, but it renewed my energy and sense of contentment. Things i love about the beach:
Gus & Gus is a fine establishment, that I have been going to since I can remember. The giant gumball machine in the doorway used to be bigger than me- I'm sure the gumballs are still from 1989... There are dinosaur toys and Elvis statues atop the lemonade machine. The jukebox in the corner is fully functional, and of course, was playing Elvis when I walked in the other day. Mini jukeboxes (antiques that look nice, but don't work anymore) sit on each table. Looking through the foggy yellowed glass, I can make out one of the tags- My Way, by Frank Sinatra. They have really good gyros, home-made fresh fries, and fried chicken, among other normal things like burgers and sandwiches. The Gusses are Greek, so I always get the gyro because I'm part Greek too. I feel weird if I don't get the gyro. A large birch beer with crushed ice is a perfect sweet complement on a hot day.
The pizza is cheap, greasy, and oh-so good. Coupled with a large cup of birch beer with crushed ice, it's a perfect beach meal.
The pistachio ice cream is to-die-for. Made by Hershey.
Where else can you catapolt rubber frogs (2 for $1) over a make-shift pond and land them in moving lillypads and win a prize? 
The strawberry daquaris are environmentally friendly.
And of course, the fashion sense at the beach adds a little something extra.
