Chelsea By The Sea Shore
Sun-seeking recessionistas, listen up!
We love consolidation! That’s why we love Fire Island. It’s got all the men, all the time. It’s that gay wonderland we dreamed of as kids. So why can’t they consolidate that slog?
Our beloved MTA (never failing to flip surplus into deficit) is serving up a summer sensation with their beach getaway package! Take the Long Island Railroad to Sayville, a colonial Taxi to the harbor, and the Ferry to Fire Island….in one transaction. Suddenly arriving at Fire Island is as easy as three in one. Sounds like a summer night in the Pines!
The cost is $30 round trip, or about a $14 less than the three separate fares. All you need to decide now is: are you a Pines princess, or a Cherry Grove queen? Can’t decide? Get lost in that shady meat rack in the middle!
With the arrival covered, our only hope is that one day somebody will open some place semi-affordable to sleep. Until then, happy homos will keep on consolidating by taking advantage of Fire Island’s ho-ho-hospitable mantra: Jump, and the mattress will appear!
$30 round trip
Now through September 7
Packages subject to same-day taxi use (but we’ve used the return ticket many days later)
