    Very nice area for shopping and restaurants. Breathtaking views to Brooklyn and on the Brooklyn Bridge, a maritime museum and a relaxing scenery (probably not at weekend or on holiday).

    This is a very special place for me. It was here where my life really changed. Always a good time, there are many bars and stores to occupy you. Come in and have a drink overlooking the river and Brooklyn. There is always something going on here in the summer time. Live music either during lunch or after work. Street performers. The best of the bunch was a Wednesday afternoon. You’ll not be bored with old ships to check out while waiting for the tours of the water that leave and arrive from here. On Wednesdays in the summer there has been live music outside. Usually Latin music on the days I find myself here.

    South Street Seaport is a great spot to hang out and take pictures of the East River and the Brooklyn Bridge. I have not been since September 11th 2001 and can not imagine the experience without the World Trade Center towering enormously above. Pier 17 also has a great mall to shop around in and some excellent restaurants.

    Sometimes I would walk here during my lunch breaks to get a bite to eat or to shop at the mall at Pier 17. Though touristy in some respects, it's still a neat little place to visit and even unwind. What's especially great about this area are the fantastic views you're able to get of the Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn itself, and Lower Manhattan's skyscrapers. From what I understand, there's also supposed to be a museum here, but I never got around to visiting it.

    Although it can be very crowded particularly on a sunny weekend day, South Street Seaport is a lot of fun. Full of street perfomers of all kinds, shops, restaurants, etc. Sitting at one of the great outdoor cafes is the perfect way to relax.

    Shop at any of the dozens of stores including Brookstone, A & F, Coach, GameStop, J Crew, Victoria's Secret, etc., etc., etc.!

    Eat at one of the great restaurants/cafes or have a quick snack.

    Check out the Maritime Museum or one of the special events of exhibits (we saw the amazing Bodies....The Exhibition).

    You can also catch a Harbor tour from the pier.

    South Street Seaport (Pier 17): Three bridges view

    South Street Seaport may be famous for its restaurants and shopping centre, and of course for the old-fashioned sailing boats anchoring there. My fondest memory, however, is the early morning view on three of New York's most impressive bridges: Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge and Williamsburg Bridge. All of them are visible from the pier or the area close by. The morning I went there, the light was rather pale and hazy. This made the bridges look even more spectacular. Definitely a nice view to enjoy, especially this early when there are no tourist hordes around!

    In Pier 17 a true effort to preserve the real history of the city became a must of New York. Historic buildings, historic ships, and a lively commerce, with Brooklin Bridge at one side and Battery Park in the other, are in all the visitors way.

    The Seaport district dates back to the 1600s and, over a period of 300 years, grew into one of the City's most vital commercial centers, serving as the international gateway to New York (in fact, New York became a great city because of its access to the sea).

    Right next to Brooklyn Bridge in Manhattan lays this enormous shopping mall area known as the South Street Seaport. At first, I thought all this was plain shopping areas, but a few blocks away lies some of the ports. Wonder through this area and enjoy the views. Also, make sure you visit the nearby Fulton Fish Market in the early mornings. On one point I actually was amazed to see a couple relaxing and smooching in a bench right next to a homeless man sleeping his sours away on the next bench!

    • Wander around the South Street Seaport District, where you find an array of stores and restaurants. It is a close walking distance from Chinatown in Manhattan and a nice area to relax, people-watch, and shop for souvenirs.
