I nice area of shops and restaurants near the Brooklyn Bridge and Battery Park. A good choice if you want to spend the day in Lower Manhattan and want to grab lunch or dinner.

Very helpful staff, nice meals and great cocktails in the bar as well. Option to eat outside if you want to watch the world go by

It's a neat part of town with several piers that give you a nice view over the Brooklyn Bridge but other than that there isn't a ton to see in that area. It's more shops/restaurants oriented.

Loved walking around south street seaport on our recent trip to New York City. Tons of great restaurants and shops. We also took a ferry out of the port and really enjoyed it. Much cooler than taking the train

The South Street Seaport District basically consists of two parts, the historical district proper, taking up about 2.5 street blocks (the district's boundaries are not drawn precisely) and 3 piers, from 15 to 17. Our review is of the South Street Seaport historic district that stretches from Peck Slip in the east to Fulton St in the west. Developed in the last 15 years or so, with Fulton Fish Market moving to Bronx, the district is filled with restaurants and shops, as well as ice cream parlor (Big Gay Ice Cream), coffee houses, bars and lounges, the latters are best represented by Chase Sapphire Lounge (the holders of Chase Sapphire card get 10% discount there). Most of all of the above are concentrated on Front Street.
The art and entertainment are represented by South Street Seaport museum (dedicated to NYC port and maritime history), Cannon's Walk (small walkthrough courtyard that has several fireplaces on each side), art installations on Fulton Street, an art gallery located in 10 Corso Como Italian luxury store and cafe, and a new concept of an upscale wine and dine movie theater IPIC (the last shows are usually at 11 PM). Some restaurants are located somewhat outside of Front and Fulton Street, such as Aqua and Bellini (Peck Slip), and the nearby Mark Joseph Steakhouse on Water Street. Speaking of restaurants, to each is their own, but for foodies like us, the South Street Seaport up until now never offered anything attractive, for most of the places are very "touristy", but with Jean-Georges Vongerichten opening his newest restaurant Fulton, on Pier 17, the area started to get more interesting.
Stores are not as multiple as food outlets, but still, SJP (Sarah Jessica Parker's shoe store), Cynthia Rowley's clothing boutique, Lee Lee's Forest (clothing and decor), and Italian designer Carla Sozzani's 10 Corso Como (clothing and home decor) give a visitor several choices.
For those wishing to stay in the district, the best choice is the luxurious Mr C Seaport, a member of the highly prestigious Leading Hotels of the World, located right in the very heart of the South Street Seaport, however our recent stay there proved to be entirely negative (you can read in our dedicated review the details of the disastrous experience).
To sum everything up - not your most authentic NYC experience, not very different from Toronto's Distillery District or Baltimore Harbor or any waterfront gentrification project for that matter, but the cobblestone streets and historical buildings are worth one's time.
