Make sure to check out the map, showing where to “bike, climb, and snack.” There’s an almost overwhelming number of things to see and do on our tiny island, but the highlight of the article for this blogger is is the revelation that along with Water Taxi Beach comes Blue Marble Ice Cream. Summer is now here. [caption id=“attachment_1593” align=“aligncenter” width=“468” caption=“Governors Island Summer Map. From New York Magazine”]

“The Beach” opens on July 11 with Darkstar Orchestra, but Water Taxi Beach in all of its 300 tons of sandy, snacky glory, will have its soft opening tomorrow, July 4th.
