The B&B Carousell is perhaps the best carousel in the New York metropolitan area. It is one of very few carousels that turn at the correct speed. The ring machine is an excellent feature of the B&B Carousell and add greatly to the enjoyment of it. The Gebruder Bruder organ is one of the best organs that was ever placed on a carousel though it does need substantial repair work. The horses definitely show that they have been well used as the paint has worn down to the wood on a number of the horses. The B&B Carousell is definitely on the gritty side, but it is well worth the effort to ride it. Unfortunately the hours of operation for the B&B Carousell have been quite limited since the passing of Mike Saltzstein on July 4, 2001.  Too bad as this carousel is quite a gem. IT is a diamond in the rough.
