Whit's End

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

"For a memorable evening out, I go to Whit's End, which looks like a punk-rock record store from the outside and a hunting-lodge-meets-dive bar inside; Whitney Aycock turns out some of the area's best wood-fired pizzas (think creative combos like pork belly, peaches, and hot honey), but I also appreciate the rotating fresh seafood dishes and the venue's mix of live entertainment — bands, magic, burlesque, and DJ sets." - Karen I.
