Pier 17, Waterfront entertainment complex in South Street Seaport Historic District, New York, United States.
Pier 17 is a four-story glass structure overlooking the East River with views toward Brooklyn Bridge and the Manhattan skyline. The building houses restaurants, retail shops, and event spaces across all levels, offering dining, shopping, and entertainment options.
The location served maritime commerce dating back to 1625, playing a role in the harbor's shipping history for centuries. Following Hurricane Sandy in 2012, the structure underwent major reconstruction to become the modern entertainment and commercial venue it is today.
The name refers to its location at pier number 17 along the historic waterfront. The building serves the neighborhood as a gathering place for concerts and public events where people experience live performances against the river backdrop.
Elevators and ramps throughout the building ensure full accessibility for all visitors. Restaurants, shops, and entertainment venues operate across all four levels, making it easy to find dining and activities regardless of which floor you visit.
During colder months, the rooftop transforms into an ice skating venue with small private dining cottages positioned for river views. This seasonal shift creates an unusual experience of skating under the open sky with the Manhattan skyline as a backdrop.
