Water Taxi Beach

Happy Memorial Day Weekend! Hope everyone is getting out of work early today to enjoy the thunderstorms! Well, tomorrow when it clears up how about a trip to the Water Taxi Beach in Long Island City? Getting there is half the fun. Take the water taxi from the west side (more fun than the east because you get a more scenic trip) at either Chelsea or Christopher St. Pier and make your way around the tip of Manhattan over to Queens ($10 each way). Once there, set up a spot in the sand or at the picnic tables, eat cheap burgers and hot dogs and drink $2 Pabst tall boys (and maybe after all those beers you can ATTEMPT to play a little volleyball) . Water taxi beach is open from noon until midnight and it's a great stop before or after a Saturday session at P.S. 1. The taxi's run hourly (and only until about 7pm) so make sure to check the schedule. After all that Pabst though you'll probably want to take a cab home!
