"Sayra’s is a nice little wine bar in the Rockaways with a whole lot going for it. It has weekday Happy Hour from 4-8pm, live music (check their Instagram), and on the weekends, they’re open until 4am. Plus, this spot also serves some great small plates. It’s two blocks from the beach, so after a tanning day, wipe as much sand off your body as possible, and head to their shaded patio for a sunkissed date night. Get a glass of wine or sangria and a jalapeño grilled cheese. If you end up finishing a whole bottle and need something a bit more substantial, head to Uma’s, a few doors down, for some baseball-sized manti." - Willa Moore
