The second “Taste of Rockaway Beach” is taking place this Sunday, May 4th.  Stroll around “restaurant row” picking up samples from each participating venue, ten bucks, all inclusive.  Newcomers this time around include Rockaway Beach Surf Club, Other End Pizza, Uncle Louie G and The Rock Wine and Beer Bar.  Check out Rockaway Beach Heart for full list of all 11 restaurants.  Passes can be purchased at any of the venues involved.

Oddly enough, last year at this time I was scrambling to finish my Rockaway House renovation and spending extra time in Rockaway was the last thing I wanted to do.  I associated it with Hurricane Sandy, an over budget, months-past-deadline construction job that sucked the life out of me.  Now that the house and Rockaway make me happy again, I WISH I could hang out there this Sunday, but alas, I’m committed to the new project.

But you should go.
