Here’s a ray of sunshine on this dreary day: more details on the boardwalk bonanza that’s coming to Rockaway Beach! Last month we revealed that Rockaway Taco will be doing tortas and ceviche at the boardwalk concession stand off of 96th Street while the Meat Hook and Roberta’s will be doing dogs and burgers; then we heard Veggie Island will be doing smoothies and such. Brooklyn Based now adds that the Roberta’s/Meat Hook operation, called Ripper’s, will incorporate a surfing and beach supplies shop from Christ Gentile of Mollusk, and the Caracas arepa bar on Beach 106th will also sell Blue Bottle Coffee. Vegan bakery Babycakes is also getting in on the action. Jean Adamson’s stand, which we mentioned yesterday, will be “a fry shack with a sense of humor. They’ll serve fries and dipping sauces, including a homemade cheese sauce incorporating bacon and pickles, oyster po-boys, fish and chips and seasonal items like tomato salad and raw oysters when available.”
