What's going on guys? We are coming to you from Rockaway Beach in Queens.
And our mission today is to find out, is this the best beach in the five boroughs?
We're going to try some fish tacos.
Drink some beer and maybe even jump in the water.
Let's get going.
Why do people like coming here?
I guess people like coming here because it has a really cool vibe.
You know you can sit and you have a drink.
Everybody likes tacos.
And also they have really really cool like galleries.
Like every now and then they'll have some artists like put up their work which is also really cool.
The water is awesome right now
I regret not bringing my swimming shorts.
I didn't really want to get wet.
And take the subway back but..
With the way the beach is here. It's very family friendly, there is so much going on.
And i've only been in feet deep.
We're walking and enjoying the expansive boardwalk here in Rockaway Beach.
And kind of talking about the vibe.
Yeah a very chill vibe here.
I think other than the subways and the street signs it does not feel like New York City.
I don't think I've heard a single horn beep.
And there was even a guy flossing his teeth at a greenlight.
Yeah good luck doing that in times square.
The last stop of the afternoon in Rockaway beach..Rippers
Which is an institution here. It's a restaurant and bar.
Right on the boardwalk and it's got the 80s hipster vibe down pat.
They've got punk rock music playing in the background here.
Really chill, mellow vibe.
We've definitely felt that here from the first spot we went to.
Just walking around, it makes you think of the Ramone's song Rockaway beach.
It totally fits.
And speaking of Rockaway we are trying a Rockaway beer right now.
The brewery just came back to Rockaway. It spent a couple of years in Long Island City.
Rockaway beach got devastated by hurricane Sandy.
But happily they're back.So let's cheers to Rockaway Beach.
Cheers.
And if anybody is curious ,it's a bitter beer but perfect for the summer.
That's a wrap from Rockaway Beach.
We're in front of Jamaica Bay right now.
About to hop on the subway back to Manhattan.
