Following a turbulent inaugural summer
at the Rockaway Hotel due to
COVID-19 restrictions, the operators of
the 53-room hotel on Beach 108th Street
are determined to make up for lost time.
Highlighting talent from its surrounding
area, the Rockaway Hotel will host
live music performances throughout the
summer.
“Th is past spring and intro into summer
have been absolutely incredible,”
Rockaway Hotel Managing Partner Jon
Krasner said. “We’ve been able to see the
excitement and feel the energy of the hotel
guests and the local community who are
coming out to socialize and enjoy themselves,
and we only predict this to be
heightened as the summer continues.”
Th e Rockaway Hotel is kicking off the
weekends with “Poolside Fridays,” when
visitors can reserve a lounger or cabana
and listen to DJs and live music at the
hotel’s pool house every Friday aft ernoon.
Entertainment on Saturdays will range
from duos to fi ve-piece groups performing
classic covers by the pool from 1 to
4 p.m.
Sunday brunches will feature live jazz
from 1 to 4 p.m. with performances by
the Amos Rose Trio, Greg Ruby, Adrien
Chevaliers, Svetlana Jazz, and more before
transitioning into Sunday Reggae evenings
beginning at 5 p.m.
“We’re excited to celebrate the reopening
of New York City as a whole and
highlight local talent through various
programming and activations, including
daily live music at the pool and on the
rooft op, with a weekly schedule ranging
from jazz to reggae to hip-hop,” Krasner
said. “Additional programming includes
weekly wellness and fi tness classes, multiple
pop-ups with top fashion brands, surf
lessons and retreats, lobster bakes and
Photos by Kyle Knodell
much more.”
Th e six-story hotel takes up nearly an
entire block along Rockaway Beach Drive
within easy walking distance from the
NYC Ferry landing at the north end of
Beach 108th Street. Th e famed Rockaway
Beach Boardwalk and the Atlantic Ocean
surf are just one block away to the south.
“Th e Rockaway Hotel that we’ve been
anticipating for so long — it feels like a
fresh start for us all,” Krasner said.
