Profile

For intrepid New York surfers, summer is endless. For everyone else, it officially begins when Rockaway Taco reopens for the season. The endearingly slapdash snack shop has evolved into a hip culinary enclave — more Santa Cruz than Seaside — where tofu tacos have been joined by Italian ices, a makeshift farmers' market, and organic and fair-trade iced coffee, courtesy of Jack’s Stir Brew. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld
