With the full month of rain seemingly behind us (finally), I've been meaning to give a quick shout out about New York's newest downtown beaches. Water Taxi Beach's newest outpost are in our very own South Street Seaport and Governor's Island. With their own sand (imported from where?) and faux palm trees, you'll almost feel it's the real thing. There is also a mini put put course for when the little tots are ready. The beach experience can become much more vivid should you choose to induge in a frozen cocktail, beer, or rum punch. We took Master L there a few weeks ago and he truly had a blast. Between digging in the sand and running under the dance floor/gaming area(?), he had plenty to do. Wait, did I mention the rum punch? What more is there to say. Oh, there are also some tasty treats including a raw bar, fish tacos and various other fried selections. The original location on Long Island City also boasted soy dogs, but I am not sure about our downtown spots. That's all dear Mamas. I am off to the beach.

Manhattan Beaches

Mama L, I am so jealous of the Water Taxi Beach at the Seaport. I can't believe it arrived right after my departure. It sounds like a perfect beach afternoon with the sand, palm trees, fish tacos and rum punch (have one for me!).
ReplyDeleteOh Mama H, I wish you could be here to enjoy it. I will be sure to toast you when we go back. I've been wanting to update you on my plans to go out West. Unfortunately, San Fran turned into LA for us, and we now leave tomorrow. I've been putting off telling you as I was so hoping to visit you in your new home this summer. We will try for another time though. My love to Ms. L.
