What’s one place you can play ping-pong, life-size chess,
have an arm wrestling contest, eat a good meal that’s accompanied with a delicious
foreign beer, all while laying on the beach, in the middle of New York City? If
you actually have an answer for this question right now, you and I need to
speak directly. I never thought a spot like this was possible, but all this
goodness and fun is packed into the Beekman Beer Garden Beach Club (http://www.beekmanbeergarden.com/)
right near South St. Seaport in Manhattan. .JPG)
I walked in and a smile instantly came to my face. The entrance
area is completely covered by a huge tent, possibly 1/3 of the size of a football
field. Under the “tent area” you can grab a burger and fries (or other finger
foods) and help yourself to hard or soft drinks at the bar. With cafeteria
style seating, nobody is a stranger and everyone is warm and welcoming to have
you sit down. After you chow down on those delicious munchies, take a walk to
the wild side of this place. Beyond the tent is an area that is created to be
exactly like a beach! Sand, fire pits, good music, and good people all while
being surrounded by water. Whether you want to relax with a brew and have good conversation
with your friends or knock some sand in people’s eyes while cuttin’ a rug on
the sandy dance floor, this place is great for both. Everything from young kids
to old farts, this place packs in a complete mix of ages and ethnicities. If
you’re with the kids, a lost tourist in the heart of the downtown area, or
maybe just spending the day with that nagging wife/husband, come anyway - the panoramic
views alone are worth making the trip!
On my rating scale of 1-10, 10 being the chilliest, coolest
place on earth… this place is an 8. Definitely an awesome experience at least
once!
