Harry is a stand up guy. And this is one of my favorite place to hang out in the summertime. The views are spectacular and the prices reasonable. I had my birthday at WTB on a rainy June day (the same day as the Gothamist/AHT event) and everybody had a blast. If you're coming from Manhattan I recommend splitting a cab with a few friends rather than taking the Water Taxi, as their service leaves much to be desired.

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... FULL REVIEW

Saturday's Burger Bash

By A Hamburger Today Jul 30, 2007

Clockwise from top left: the Onion Burger, the Butter Burger, the Pimento Cheese Burger. Photographs courtesy Jason Perlow A big thanks to all you readers who made it out to the Gothamist?AHT Beach Burger Bash on Saturday. All of us here at A Hamburger Today and Serious Eats had a sin-sear-ly great time meeting you, eating burgers, and working burger-line detail. With some volunteer help from the sponsoring blogs, Harry Hawk and the Water Taxi Beach crew formed a burger assembly line, with the evening's burgers built upon a base consisting of a four-ouce freshly ground patty cooked expertly on an ultrahot griddle. The patties were... FULL REVIEW

Thanks For Coming to the QBQ BBQ

By Gothamist Jul 30, 2007

We're still working all the meat out of our system from Saturday's Gothamist-Serious Eats/AHT QBQ BBQ II, but we hope that those of you who made it had a good time. Thankfully, the forecasted rain held off as we served about 150 pounds of beef (600 burgers) during the event. A special thanks to Harry Hawk, the staff at Water Taxi Beach and some assistants from Gothamist, Serious Eats and A Hamburger Today, Six Apart, and for everyone who came out for the event. Apologies for the early line and beer flow issues. For additional coverage, check out Adam's wrap-up at AHT, Jason Perlow's excellent in-depth coverage at Off the Broiler (he's got... FULL REVIEW

Water Taxi Beach to Open Memorial Day

By BlogSoop Blog May 23, 2007

Water Taxi Beach will open this Memorial Day. Those who know me well realize what a fiend I am for this fake beach. I attend pretty much any chance I get - provided I can rally a small group to come with. I’m not one to stay out all hours of the night. WTB affords [...] FULL REVIEW

A Great Beach Burger in Queens

By Ed Levine Eats Jul 06, 2006

New York is full of hidden culinary and cultural treasures, and I guess that's one of the reasons many of us love the city. Take Long Island City's Water Taxi Beach, a two minute boat ride from the East River at 34th Street. FULL REVIEW

Grillin' ain't easy.

By Twenty Bucks A Day Jun 26, 2006

On Saturday, Sophmoricles and I attended the Gothamist-A Hamburger Today “QBQ-BBQ.” As this will no doubt be one of the most-blogged food events of the year, I don’t need to go too terribly in-depth with my coverage, but I will say that Harry’s Water Taxi Beach is a great spot, even if it’s a leap of faith get there (especially with the 7 out of service). I’m sure that when LIC is built up, the layout will make more sense, but for now, with the beach at the far end of a parking lot, nobody stumbles in by accident. FULL REVIEW
