16. Hitch a Ride to Rockaway Beach
One of the best ways to fight the heat wave is by visiting Rockaway Beach, that is number 16 on our list of best non touristy things to do in NYC. Here, you can not only enjoy the beauty of the city, but also enjoy excellent Cali-style tacos. If you want to clear your mind and spend a beautiful day in peace, we recommend you to stay on the beach between 86th and 106th streets. You can enjoy the cool and calm waves while eating a delicious fish taco at Tacoway Beach. Despite that, you can also take surf lessons to make this day even more enjoyable.
