Negotiations are officially underway for the return of some of the seven Coney Island boardwalk businesses with leases expiring at the end of the month. Ruby's, Paul's Daughter, and the others will be required to pay $100,000 to clean up their places?by adding hardwood floors and flat-screen TVs, for example?in order to get new leases that extend through 2019. Is it worth it without the old-timey feel? There's always Will Smith for that. [BK Daily]
