Things To Do
RIPPERS
A mainstay of Rockaway Beach, you'll be enjoying Rippers as part of the wedding. But that's not to say you can't have more than one of these delicious burgers. The micheladas here (beer mixed with lime juice and sauces in a rimmed glass) are top notch!
Rockaway Bazaar
By Beach 97th St you'll find the Rockaway Bazaar. Along with your drinks, you can enjoy everything from your normal beach fare to pizza, lobster rolls and ceviche.
Caracas Arepa Bar (summer only)
Not your normal beach fare! If you make it down to 106th street you'll find tasty arepas right on the beach.
Bungalow Bar
This bayside bar and grill has a fantastic deck with views of the Manhattan skyline.
Whit's End
Wood fire pizza may be the star here, but this BYOB Italian spot also has a daily changing menu of eclectic fare.
Rockaway Beach Surf Club
Also known as Tacoway Beach where fantastic tacos are served out of a converted shipping container, a great evening plan is to cozy up in this backyard atmosphere.
Connolly's Bar
It may be sunny outside but you won't always know it in this classic downstairs bar known for their potent piña coladas
Margie's
Located in the Rockaway Hotel + Spa, Margie's is a new addition to the Rockaway food scene serving a variety of American classics and seafood. While you're there, book yourself a spa package or head to the rooftop bar for amazing views.
RBQ
Good BBQ and generous portions are the highlights of this spot located in the former Playland Motel
Take a ferry ride
Looking to get out of the Rockaways and see the rest of New York City? You might as well take the scenic route. The NYC ferry from Rockaway makes land at Sunset Park, Brooklyn and lower Manhattan for the price of a subway ride.
