R.I.P. Coney Island USA Co-Founder Costa Mantis

With great sadness, we mark the passing of Costa Mantis, Coney Island USA co-founder. He was a storyteller, filmmaker, photographer, itinerant bohemian, and tireless advocate for the homeless. Costa was the #happywarriorman, following his own path ’til the end and touching many hearts along the way. We’ll miss his indomitable spirit and will continue to honor his many contributions to Coney Island USA.
