Cliffs boatyard was about a quarter of a block north of the bridge on 95th Street. It was built by Cliff Hoffman around 1947-48. The hoffmans lived two doors down from me on 95th about a block north of the bridge. Son's name was Cliffy. It was both a boat yard and a "night club). Seating and booths were made out of navy surplus old balsawood liferafts and he built the whole thing himself.

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.
