Okay, so technically it’s in Queens. But pretty much all the cool kids in Brooklyn know about it.

Far Rockaway is a hop skip and a jump away on the A train. They have a Caracas/Blue Bottle partnership on the boardwalk at 106th, Rockaway Taco is down at 96th st. along with a modern-day fry shack called Motorboat & the Big Banana with oyster poboys and fish and chips and chocolate dipped bananas. On 86th St. Roberta’s Pizza has partnered with The Meat Hook to offer fresh burgers and hot dogs. So go hungry.

And it’s the beach. It’s in the city, and it’s not quite as nostalgically sad, or weird, as Coney Island. There’s a pro surf shop near 87th, the surf spot, opened by Williamsburg’s Mollusk.

Basically all your favorite Brooklyn foods are now available at the beach. You can get there on the train, on your bike or on the LIRR, though I only recommend that for those who live on Long Guyland.

So buy a new bathing suit, because you’ll definitely want to look good for all the young attractive people eating at these cool spots. And don’t forget your Wayfarers and your sunscreen. See you next weekend.
