Throngs of tourists were met by a discouraged and unpleasant Empire State Building, who eventually ushered them onto one of New York’s Water Taxis. After a pleasant cruise, guests relaxed on the shoreline of Water Taxi Beach.
LVHRD VDO: 038: BTHRD 2.1 captures the magic of last summer’s Island Cruise II in all of it’s tourist-kitsch glory. Led by a surly Empire State Building with no permits of any kind (sure is lonely being a landmark) a pack of LVHRD members dressed as tourists boarded a Water Taxi and South Street Seaport and took a sunset cruse through the East River past the Statue of Liberty to Water Taxi Beach in Long Island City.
On a sunny afternoon in August of 2006, LVHRD members gathered in mass at NYC’s South Street Seaport in full, coordinated tourist attire for the 2nd Annual Island Cruise.

Just a reminder, in case you haven’t been waiting fever-fisted for the first glorious strokes of Summer:

This year’s Island Cruise promises to be the best tour(ist) of the town that LVHRD members have ever had. Members and their guests are invited to dress as the best NYC Tourist they can be. LVHRD’s Guest Tour Guide will lead the tour(ists) through the Big City’s Big Buildings to a nautical voyage ending at a tropical and remote mini vacation location.
Last year LVHRD’s Island Cruise was a voyage full of swash buckling and chum churning for over 200 LVHAAARRRD Pirates.
