I was disappointed with this attraction. The sail boats had fencing around so could not take good photos. Not many people were there. Must have gone at wrong time of day!!

I have to admit I was really looking forward to going here. Disappointed as there were a lot of bulding works going on around the shopping area, so didnt get to see much. The covered shopping area was nice, the food hall about average. Lovely to see the old ships though

We went to the South Street Seaport and much of the area is still under repair from Hurricane Sandy and has not reopened. The Pier 17 Mall is open but not completely occupied.

Nice shops for out-of-towners. Shopping is boring due to all the large chain stores. The bars in the area are nice but nothing not seen in other cities. great place to walk around and people watch.

I love the old sailing ships docked here and the most amazing view of the Brooklyn Bridge! I have been here when it was cold, warm, raining, snowing and nothing can take away from the spectacular views of Brooklyn and the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges
