I had a boat at Cliff's from 1953 until he closed in 1975. Cliffie and I hungout together for years, and I have great memories of the boatyard, and the nightclub...It was a great crown that had boats and hug around there...we'd all go Aquaduct or Belmont together, amd some of the other night spots in Queens.
Cliff had a rare restored 53 Buick convertable....green....he treated it like a baby, and oly took it out in fair weather.
It was a unique place, and I still miss it, and the people there after all these years.
