Where to Eat, Stay, and Play at NYC's Rockaway Beach in Queens

"After surfing I like to relax at Rockaway Brewing Company, which grew out of locals home-brewing in backyards and now features an expansive taproom and front yard where I can throw back cold beers; they regularly host food residencies and pop-ups (tacos, pizza, burgers, brats) and live music on weekends." - Karen I.
