Signs of Spring: Putting the 'Beach' into Water Taxi Beach
Friday, March 21, 2008

It's no Cozumel or Costa Rica or wherever you kids are spending Spring Break these days, but this is a sight for sore eyes for New Yorkers craving warmer weather and a juicy burger out by the East River. This week the owners of LIC's parking lot turned summer playground Water Taxi Beach had 500 tons of sand trucked in to make the transformation happen once again. Says WTB's manager Harry Hawk writes: "In the 2008 season, Water Taxi Beach will double its space to about 44,000 sq ft. Delivery has started on an additional 500 tons of sand. The sand placed down in 2005 was 400 tons and came from NJ. This new sand is from Long Island." Spring has officially begun.
