Playland Grill

The restaurant at campy hipster haunt Playland Motel has reopened with new management—Daniel Cipriani (Williamsburg’s Lodge)—and a brand-spankin’-new menu to boot. At sunset-hued Formica two-tops, tuck into warm-weather staples like clam fritters ($8), peel-and-eat shrimp ($12) and jerk chicken ($16), matched with equally sunny sips like guava margaritas ($10) and bourbon sweet tea ($7). Now that’s how you toast summer. 97-20 Rockaway Beach Blvd, Queens (347-954-9063, playlandmotel.com)
