Matthew's Guidebook
Food Scene
Great seafood and drinks. Was one of the highest rated episode and most successful survivors of "Bar Rescue."
Whenever I have friends or family visit, this is always where we go because it's the most fun restaurant in all of Rockaway.
Greatest balcony to eat outside on with amazing panoramic views of NYC, LI and Queens.
Perfect for all ages.

Uber, Lyft, Walking...Driving not so much
This is a small town with a ton of emphasis on seafood and the beach. There's not a ton to do, but if you're looking to lounge and enjoy the waterfront it's very fun. There are outdoor cafes/bars (no walls) on the boardwalk during the day. Doordash/Instacart are also very convenient.
