Rockaway Beach Concessions Return Tomorrow

Tomorrow, Saturday May 19, concessions are officially open at the Rockaway Beach Club, a grouping of vendors all along the boardwalk. The stands sell tacos, arepas, smoothies, and micheladas, along with renting items like surfboards and bikes to beach-seeking New Yorkers. The season runs through September, weather permitting. The Rockaway Beach website has an illustrated, numbered map detailing locations of stalls and what's being sold this year.
