well, my grandfather is the head of security here, so we get VIP alot. its an amazing place anyway, with the bustle and the crowds, this IS new york at its finest! i love the stores, the food court, the attractions, but most of all...THE VIEWS!!! this is just an awesome place, and i would reccommend it to anyone!

This is a great place to wander around aimlessly with a friend or group on the weekend. It can get a bit crowded but this is a very small nuissance if even that. There are 3 floors of stores in the main mall and even before you reach inside, there are many stores and stands selling various nick nacks.. all are wonderful. Everytime I go I alwwayyss ...

One of the nice things about South Street seaport is that you can see a lot of New York in one place without spending a lot of money. You don't need to take a car, you can take the subway and get off at Fulton Street. Then you can walk to the port and when you get to the mall go upstairs where you can sit on the deck and enjoy a relaxing view ...

its an overpriced shopping mall on a pier with no place to park unless you want to pay $30. There is no need whatsoever for even tourists to go here

I love southstreet because it is a little bit calmer than all the bustle of the city. The stores are great and I will always rememeber going there when I was little and shopping. Great place for tourists or seasoned New Yorkers!

It is a lot of fun! Great views and great places to eat. They also have Bodies... the exhibition down there. It was a must see!! I can't wait to go again soon!!!

The Seaport is an amazing place, filled in the summer months with street performers and great shops. The resturants offer the best seafood in town. I worked at the south Street Seaport for most of my 20's and I enjoyed every new face I met. Growing up only three quarters of a mile from the Seaport we were reminded of the Fulton Fish market that ...

Oh how I really miss this place. I'm originally from Brooklyn,NY but now I live in Virginia. I would go to this place at least once a week during the spring and summer months. I just love the atmosphere and the crowds, the places to eat and the seaport party boat rides. Norfolk Waterside cannot does not have anything on South Street Seaport.

It's very charming and easy to get taxis from - a plus. Restaurants are great and you can easily walk across the Brooklyn Bridge or get a water taxi from Pier 17.
The only bad things are it's noisy at night (until they move the Fish Market) and it does reek of fish!
