There are a lot of stars that have to come into alignment for the beach to come to life each year. It's hard to believe but we have been planning the 2006 since just a few weeks after the 2005 season closed.
But the hard work started in late Jan 2006 when we put a full time team back on the project. We expect my early May have 6-8 employees (full time equivalent) pushing things forward.
Where are you going to spend your summer?

Harry’s LIC Bar & Grill at Water Taxi Beach
2-03 Borden Ave., Long Island City
If you crave a taste of South Florida without leaving the five boroughs… you could chill on the 15,000-square-foot beach that New York Water Taxi created last year by dumping 400 tons of fine white New Jersey sand on a Long Island City pier.

We try Harder!
Thanks to The L Mag... ranking Harry's Bar & Grill @ Water Taxi Beach the 2nd best "Peachiest NEW" bar in NYC...

"Second place goes to Water Taxi Beach, which is neater-skeeter but seasonally limited. A beach! In Queens! With $1 PBRs! Plus a drunken boat ride."
FYI, PBR will be going up in 2006! and probably moving from Cans to Tap..

Season Over
The warm days of summer and those cooling "river" breezes have given way to the chill nights of Autumn and, for now, the beach has closed.
Thanks to everyone who came from the boats, LIC and beyond... When you see us make sure you say hi!
PS.
10 to 15 degree cooler in the summer makes 90 degree days a nice 75 but 50 at the beach in the Fall could easily be 44 and that's way to cold!

We have been getting a lot of press lately. Attendance has been up and we have been hiring like crazy. Add new bartenders and waitstaff to the roster. The folks at the main office have also been adding more ticket window staff so there should always be a ticket agent there during Water Taxi operations.
