Places to stay in Rockaway, New York
The Rockaway Peninsula, also known as The Rockaways, is the name of a peninsula of Long Island, most of which is located within the borough of Queens in New York City. A popular summer resort area since the 1830s, Rockaway — or, as it is informally known, "The Rockaways" — has become a mixture of lower, middle, and upper-class neighborhoods. Its remoteness from Manhattan has made it a popular retreat, but also has provided an out-of-the-way area to relocate communities destroyed by urban renewal. The neighborhood is part of Queens Community Board 14. Local dining options include Salaam Namaste, Number 1 Restaurant, Gencarelli's Restaurant, and CAFE AMINA.
If you are travelling in the area, Rockaway is located close to Troy Brook, Founders Hall, Birchwood Elementary School, Union Church and Bragg Elementary School.
