Water Taxi Beach Manhattan Location Revealed
This week, it was revealed that the much beloved Water Taxi Beach would be expanding from LIC into 2 Manhattan locations. A Governor's Island announcement soon followed, but the mystery of the Manhattan space has still not been revealed. Until now. A Little Birdy tells DBTH "Its going to pier 17 at South Street Seaport." The location makes sense, both for its proximity to the Water Taxi dock, and the influx of tourists and commuters who pass by the Seaport on a daily basis, and seems to have everything lined up to be a smashing success. Who's ready for summer?

Hmmm, doubtful, Pier 17 is where the South Street Seaport vertical mall is located, which is privately controlled . . . what you have highlighted is Pier 15, which is controlled by the South Street Seaport Musuem.
sick! its like a block away from me... fuck the hamptons this year
Chilling on a bridgehampton beach or watching the Staten Island Ferry pullout!
The crowd will be nauseating.
while i think it's a great location for WTB in terms of success, i doubt any locals will hang out there. i'll be trekking to LIC instead - the original is best! i'd like to see them open one in brooklyn heights/red hook on the waterfront piers.
