New York City Safari I - South Street Seaport Beach Party

Gigi will lead us on a New York City Safari, where we shall start at the West 83rd Street/Riverside Park entrance and venture on an 8-mile trek down the West side to Lower Manhattan, to the NEW Beach at South Street Seaport, Pier 17.

Although no swimming...
Sneakers, shorts, SUNBLOCK + 2-bottles-WATER, and comfortable beach attire required.

Food, Ping Pong, Skeet Ball and other games + Happy Hour at the NEW South Street Seaport Beach, Pier 17. Schedule at least five hours of fun!!!

The Big Apple Barbecue Block Party isn’t the only late-breaking summer-fun news — Community Board 1 has approved Water Taxi Beach for booze at its South Street Seaport location (at Pier 17) and official word is, the 18,000-square-foot beach will open on Memorial Day weekend (the Governors Island location will open July 4). According to the press release that just landed in our hot little hands, “Food and beverages will be available at a fish shack that will serve fish and chips, steamers, clams, and daily specials. Recreational opportunities will include a nine-hole miniature golf course, Ping-Pong tables and Skee-Ball.” Free table tennis? YES! No need to join that new $600-a-year Ping-Pong club. Plus, live music Thursday through Saturday nights, and an evening shuttle between Fulton Ferry Landing and the two new locations. Something tells us the Hamptons are going to be even over-er this year. LOL
