We were running very very late but it was no problem for Marek, who had his son Phillip meet us at 10:30PM to give us the rundown on their little slice of paradise in Rockaway. We had the entire downstairs apartment to ourselves, including our own entranceway through the back yard. The apartment was well-maintained and seemed brand new. It nailed the beach vacation house vibe. It's close to a bunch of awesome stuff: 97th Street Concession, Rockaway Taco, Playland Motel, the 98th Street A/S stop etc. Rockaway itself is pretty incredible. Completely unique and its own and with cool salt air I wish I could bottle.
