Poseidon’s Pizza
Saturday, June 23: Head down to the MerÂmaid Parade early and skip the line at NaÂthan’s.

They open at noon, so pig out quickly and then secure a good mermaid-watching spot on Surf Avenue.
Noon–8 pm at Totonno’s (1524 Neptune Ave., at West 15th Street in Coney Island). $17.95 per pie. For information, call (718) 372-8606.

Where there’s a Wilco
