Brooklyn’s infamous Gargiulo's Restaurant at 2911 West 15th Street, Coney Island, celebrated a milestone on Sunday, April 23, as generations of family members — children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews and cousins —  traveled from all across the country to return to Coney Island for the gathering.

Gargiulo’s, one of New York’s oldest restaurants, was established in 1907 by the Gargiulo family. It was originally operated by Gus Gargiulo, who was later joined by his brother Louis and sisters Tessie and Angelina, along with other family members. Throughout the 1930s, ’40s and ’50s, the Gargiulo's Grand Ballroom hosted numerous weddings and other social functions.
