The teens were found on the shoreline at 9:15 p.m. and rushed to Coney Island Hospital, where they were pronounced dead, the NYPD said.

Beryl is not near what it was days ago when it moved through the Windward Islands as a category 5 hurricane. Strong wind shear in the Western Caribbean and a trip across the Yucatan Peninsula have reduced it toa tropical storm. Beryl continues north northwest today and it appears that the center will make landfall along the Texas coast about half way up between Corpus Christi and Houston.

Time Out

For many, a huge appeal for vacation is the chance to wander around city neighborhoods on foot, having a cup of coffee here, browsing through shop racks there, stopping at a bakery, spending a few hours at a museum or art gallery. Sometimes, these pedestrian zones might even be blocked by car traffic, so you freely ramble without needing to look both ways before crossing. Plus, walking is good for health and less expensive than renting a car. While we often go abroad and are charmed by those cobblestoned streets and medieval passages brimming with shops and eateries, we’re often hard-pressed to find these walkable cities in a landscape dotted with strip malls, where “Main Street” is often shuttered. (And while Europe and other parts of the world are covered in rails, making it possible to ditch a car and move about freely via train, our rail system is not yet that comprehensive). But fear not, there are plenty of U.S. cities where pleasant strolling can still happen, according to Smart Growth America and its 2023 Foot Traffic Ahead Report. This study looked at the 35 largest metropolitan areas in the U.S. and ranked them for their walkability.

These are the most walkable cities in the U.S.
