Rockaway Times
Riis Park Beach Bazaar (RPBB)
immediately helped revitalize Riis Park when it secured a lease to run
the concessions at the park that offered little to visitors for decades.
That was five years ago. Since then, the group has offered a wide
variety or food vendors, beach rental equipment, live entertainment and
even year round indoor dining (in pre-Covid times). Many locals have
found employment with the company as well.
And now the lease is up. The five-year
lease is due to expire November 1, just a couple of months from now. The
lease does not have a renewal clause and NPS says the “park plans to
release a competitive solicitation in early Fall 2020, to lease
facilities at Riis for similar purposes.”

Great less man buns on the beach next year.
Remember this is a federal beach, not NYC or NYS.

Betcha any new lease goes to Trump organization.
Trump Beach I like that !

That's what I was thinking too. It's ironic that the Bazaar was used to make the area more high end and it will wind up killing themselves, leading the beach more certain for privatization by an org that's even worse. Just last week the park just enacted more strict rules and a 9 pm closing time.
Anon 5: Or Biden beach. This is why privatization sucks.
BooFuckingHoo!
22 bucks for a lobster hoagie. Yeesh.
