Morning Brief: June 3
Headed to the beach this summer? Rockaway Beach may be the best place to go in the city. It was just ranked highest in a report on city beaches with a score of A-, beating out Coney Island by a long shot. But Brighton Beach wasn't the lowest ranked. That would be Wolfe's Pond Beach in Staten Island, which got an F rating.
