Um, can this weekend never end?
Last night, I had a fun night out with Ashley and some friends and managed to rally and head to the beach this morning after a late night.
Lacey and I hopped on the subway at 10:30 and headed out to Rockaway. It was me, Lacey, and everyone else in the city.
I really dislike the word foodie–it can be such a pretentious, excluding word–but Rockaway has lots of great food. I passed out immediately on the beach and woke up dying for some food.
Lobster roll? Oh hell yeah. I missed my opportunity to celebrate National Lobster Day last week, so I had to celebrate today. Obviously.
And a cold beer on the beach was pretty wonderful, too.
Don’t worry, I didn’t drink and swim.
It’s a good thing I brought back lots of sand with me so I can have a little bit of the beach with me at work tomorrow. In my bags. In my shoes. In my phone. In my camera.
Are you as awkward as me and drag half the beach home with you, too?
No idea why I chose Frank Sinatra lyrics to name my last post on this…

That looks like an amazing lobster roll! And yes, I like to make my beach trip last long after i come home too.
What street in Rockaway were you on? I guess little known fact for people coming from outside Rockaway is that the really high numbered streets, though a little further up, are beautiful and very family-oriented.
@Jenna: Ohhh. We were at around 97-98th Street. We wanted to stay close to the food :)
hey Theodora- that area was just recently developed- i havent made it there yet. If you go down to the 130-140's there are beautiful beach mansions and it's just more quiet overall:) I live just over the bridge in Brooklyn.
I seem to take half the beach home with me, too! Would love to know how to avoid that.
I have not been to the beach in SO LONG!
Oh, you really have a great time with your friends. It is really nice to spend wonderful time together with friends this summer. In fact, we went to beach last week with my friends and family. We enjoyed spending time in a splendid pristine water.
No matter what I can never seem to get all the sand off of me - the worst is when it gets in your chapstick!
What a lovely day. The weather here in England is terrible and i have even had the heating on! Also that roll looks fantastic. My mouth is watering just thinking about it mmm. I always bring the beach home, half the fun!
Crap. I missed National Lobster Day too! I better make up for it.
We used to go to Rockaway a lot when I was a kiddo. Hope you had fun!
Yep.. I always get sand in my hair. Lol. That's always a treat.
I'm still shaking out sand from my beach day last week too :) Definitely agree about the food. I hit up Rockaway Taco on 96th and it was so delish, especially after working up an,appetite in the waves!
