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!

This might be one of the best places to shop during the holiday season. Smaller crowds, great selections and "hands down", the best Santa in the City and maybe best of all, The Singing Christmas Tree. You can keep Rockerfeller Center, for my money, this is the best place to get into the holiday spirit.

Very cool place to go on summer, great outdoor eating, good shrimp, family place, great view of the docks.
