Queens Information
About Queens
Queens is a borough of New York City, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and easily accessible by NYC public transportation. With the beach destination of Rockaway Park, it is an ideal location for an easy beach getaway from the city. Stay awhile in Rockaway Park for an underrated vacation opportunity that all New York City dwellers should experience at least once, or head to Queens for the fantastic bars and restaurants that are a little off the beaten path.
Things to Do in Queens
Ask any local for their favorite place to relax in Queens, and they’re likely to answer the boardwalk and the beach at Rockaway Park. Home to the city’s only official surfing beach, Rockaway Park is a favorite relaxation destination for many. Take a few lessons at Skudin Surf or Locals Surf School for the full experience. Foodies will want to stop by Edgemere Farm’s farm stand, open on Saturdays from 9am-1pm. In the summer, Edgemere hosts farm dinner events serving delectable dishes featuring their fresh produce. While you’re near the beach, fitness and yoga enthusiasts will want to stop by the free Rockaway Beach Yoga on the Boardwalk. Offered every Saturday over the summer, you can show up with your mat and participate. There are also basketball courts, baseball fields, and even handball courts just steps away from the beach and boardwalk. Cap off your day with a visit to Healy’s Pub for a friendly night out with live music and well-priced drinks or head to MoMA PS1, a club with a great lineup of DJs and artists. Be sure to visit Flushing Meadows-Corona Park as well as the awesome Tex-Mex brunch at The Rock and The Cave.
