                                                                                                                                                                                                                1                                                                  Currently,   there are some good eats over in the Rockaways, most notably Rockaway   Taco. But the city's Parks Department wants there to be more. Thus,   they've just put out a request for proposals for the neighborhood and   the beach's boardwalk. What they're looking for: three snack bars spread between Beach 86th street and Beach 106th Street and exclusive use of the boardwalk for up to 20 mobile food units.   They're looking for one concessionaire to run the whole operation, also   with the option of renting out beach gear, and are seeking menus that   offer "quality, variety, and affordability." Sadly, original or exciting   food carts aren't really a priority, as they're restricting the mobile   menus to hot dogs and pretzels.
Still, there's potential. Applications for the RFP are due on   September 13, and there will be a site visit on August 20. You can   download the PDF version of the RFP here.
