The Superior Local | Hello, August!
August 1–2, 2026 — NYC Restaurant Week, Rod Stewart at Jones Beach, movies under the stars, and family fun from LIC to Rockaway.
By Saundra Avalos
August arrives with plenty of sunshine still ahead. Before diving into the weekend list, remember NYC Restaurant Week prix-fixe menus are still running — a great excuse to explore a new spot in Queens or Manhattan.
Friday & Saturday picks
Family art at Socrates Sculpture Park, Rod Stewart at Jones Beach, SpongeBob on the big screen in Brooklyn, roller skating at Three of Hearts, canoeing in Oakland Gardens, and ROCK! AWAY! Summer Fest at Rockaway Beach.
Jones Beach Bandshell and Movies Under the Stars: Superman in Flushing cap the nights.
Sunday relaxation
Brooklyn Cyclones baseball in Coney Island, Summer Sundays in Jackson Heights gardens, and a historic walk at Ridgewood Reservoir offer slower-paced options.
