Haven't been here in a while, what with all the Chelsea postings, but it's not only still gorgeous down at the Houston Street pier, but it's also summer. Officially, since there are two party boats hanging out with our old friend the Lilac. One of the party boats caters to the gay scene and the other to a Harlem crowd, but interesting, their music is basically the same. At least to my ear, it's loud with a great disco beat.
