This is why I like it so much!! There’s no pressure here, most people are laid back and chilled, “you do you, I’ll do me” less busy and fast paced….

There is a younger crowd? I was under the impression it was for families
Is it at all similar to FR?

Maybe bc we didnt have any family in FR we felt like outsiders. The people I know that love it there have tons of friends and family

If you think about how many people live in this area and then how only 30! People voted it’s pretty crazy.

I am originally from fr. My parents are still there. My mother grew up there as well. So we're taking about close to 50 years. Share your favorite far Rockaway memories!

There are quite a few ZA couples, and also other young couple. We are not part of ZA, but a lot of the single guys eat here on shabbos, and the ones who stay after they get married come back too.
