South Street Seaport, Historic shopping district at East River waterfront in Manhattan, United States.

The South Street Seaport features restored 19th-century buildings, cobblestone streets, and numerous shops along the East River waterfront in Lower Manhattan.

The Dutch West India Company established the first pier in 1625, leading to the area's development as a major maritime trading hub throughout the colonial period.

The South Street Seaport Museum maintains a collection of historic vessels and maritime artifacts, presenting exhibitions about New York's commercial maritime heritage.

The district offers direct access to multiple subway lines at Fulton Street station, with connections to buses and water taxis for convenient transportation.

The Pier 17 rooftop transforms into an open-air concert venue with views of the Brooklyn Bridge, hosting performances against the Manhattan skyline backdrop.
