Rock on Down to Rippers

The Meat Hook and Roberta's team encourage you to head on down to Rock Rock Rock, Rockaway Beach to hit up their surfshack.  Ripper's is on the boardwalk and 86th Street, across the sand from the surf spot at Rockaway Beach.  It's open from 7am - 7pm and has iced coffee and breakfast burritos to fuel the surfers and other early birds making it to the beach before high noon.  If sun and fun aren't enough to get beach bound on the A train, the video should help.

There will be more buns in the sun tomorrow at Roberta's hot dog eating contest.  They're celebrating the 4th with a sold out hot dog bash tomorrow from 11am - 7pm.  "The elastic belly," AKA Kobayashi, will be there to take on hot dog eating pros from around the country.
