Caracas Arepa Bar

And just like Goldenrod is in full bloom and the Monarch Butterflies are migrating down south, this is our queue to pause to restore, digest and come back in May 2027.

It has been a challenging beautiful summer. From construction in front of us that lasted until July 4th to tornadoes, with many sharks sightings but also many dolphins and whales.

Many amazing artists that joined us to celebrate the sun as it’s peak.

The Super Niño making weather predictions way harder but also pushing our capacity to learn new patterns.

To summarize:

- we love you and give everything we have to make summers extra special.

- we are open today 11-7pm but we are not sure about tomorrow, so stay tuned.

- we are grateful 🥹 for our family and team of restaurant athletes.

- we are grateful for our dear brothers and sisters brothers rockaway

see you on the other side 💗

Yesterday we celebrated our staff family.
Working a Summer at Caracas Rockaway is very much like going to summer camp with the slight difference that you come to work really hard. But the analogy works because we become a pretty tight family and we coexist together for 5 months.
Every summer the majority of us return to summer camp and every summer we get new campers (workers) that soon become pillars in the ecosystem.

Our staff party was a epic thanks to the incredible hospitality by Gina at Jupiter Club and for the delicious food that Erik maestrofuego.mx made for us.

Thank you Joaquin for the generous help and to Cheo Pardo Jose Luis “Cheo” Pardo for always supporting and laughing with us.

P.S. WE ARE STILL OPEN UNTIL 9/27 AS LONG AS THE SUN ☀️ IS OUT

On Sunday the rain will only be in the morning and then will be a glorious day with the Sandcastle Competition back by us. Creative Time is organizing it and should be an incredible display of sand artistry.
brothers rockaway and us will be hanging out with the one and only Edan that will honor us with his records in a set from 3-7pm

It was so fun 🤩… we had the honor to have two legends behind the turntables: Doug Sherman from The Loft and Andrew VanWyngarde. Vibes were immaculate and the dance floor was on 🔥 until the end. Thanks to m i c c a and all the volunteers for their incredible work and faith in the power of movement.

Amid the devastation and uncertainty in Venezuela, international emergency aid is urgently needed and getting there. But there are also many local organizations already working on the ground—often with very limited access to funding, supplies, and resources.

These groups have been there for years. They know their communities, they understand the needs firsthand, and they will remain essential not only during this emergency response, but throughout the long road toward recovery and reconstruction.

We want to help strengthen their ability to serve. Our goal is to find a legal and transparent way to route financial support from people around the world directly to trusted Venezuelan organizations that are already doing this critical work.

We are looking for experienced legal guidance related to international NGOs, charitable giving, cross-border aid, and nonprofit structures.

If you have experience in this area—or know someone who does—please reach out. Your advice could help ensure that urgently needed support reaches the people and communities who need it most.

Together, we can help local organizations continue helping Venezuela!
