I really didn't know that Coney Island was part of the borough of Brooklyn.

A boardwalk is a common fixture at seaside resorts in the NY/New Jersey area.

Just saw on Wiki that the CI hotdog is something distinctive related to immigrants from the Balkans.

Does this mean I have to set a question?

Mrs SW & myself visited two years ago and walked length of the Boardwalk its famous for where New Yorkers spent their hols back in the day.

Nathan's restaurant is the hot dog clue, we had one there but its famous for holding the world championship dog eating every July 4th silly amount they eat.

The Ferris wheel is wooden and still runs today, was biggest in world when built early last century (until they built the one in Vienna). Unfortunately the fun fair was closed for winter when we were there (March) , opened a couple of weeks later.

The Warriors were a gang in the cult movie from about 1980, from Coney the film ended there.

Cheese Fondue is a Swiss thing I believe.

When we were in Canada (Montreal) there was a Swiss restaurant near our hotel we visited a couple of times and they were renowned for their Fondue.

So will take a stab at Geneva ?

Hmmm .. not sure, but I'm gonna say Berlin because of the amount of lush woodland and the number of lakes in the municipality.
