"You don’t need to spend three hours in traffic and sleep on an aerobed in your brother’s share house in The Hamptons to get to the beach this summer. Just take the A train to The Rockaways. Spend the day on the beach and maybe take a surf lesson, because “I learned to surf while interning in New York” would be a cool thing to be able to say. After you’re sufficiently hungry or sunburned, head to Tacoway Beach. It’s a fun spot a block off the beach inside Rockaway Beach Surf Club, and they serve the best fish tacos in the city." - Hannah Albertine, Matt Tervooren
