Perceptions

I've been to Chinatown before, so I am expecting the loud and bustling Chinatown I am always use to. But I have never gone to Brighton Beach, and for some reason when I think Brighton Beach I think of a combination of Coney Island and Miami Beach. In other words I am picturing a boardwalk with a giant clean and empty beach. I also keep picturing that all of Brighton Beach is along the boardwalk. Like something you see in movies, where all the stores are lined up on the boardwalk around the beach.
