Base10 went to Rockaway today, but was somewhat disapointed. The bad news: Boggiano's current incarnation ("Vaughn's") was shuttered. It did however have a spray-painted message on one of the plywood sheets that read, "The Tap is Back." This is clearly a reference to one of Boggies' other incarnations, namely, the Tap-and-Grill. The place was sealed and the windows were soaped. Rockaway denizens hope for a speedy resolution. Base10 was forced to have clams at "The Wharf" instead. No locations please. "The Wharf" is only for Rockaway insiders.

The good news: it looks like Connely's is open for business.

Anyway, Base10 called his beach day a bit short because of cloudy weather. He did get to take a very pleasant walk along the shoreline, though, and that may have been worth the trip alone. Photography was not as good as expected, but perhaps Base10 will post some images tomorrow.
