South Street Seaport Restaurants

Sometimes, Manhattan can seem more like a concrete jungle than an island, but the South Street Seaport is a reminder that the water isn’t far away. Rebranded as the Seaport District, the downtown district is rolling out 400,000-square-feet of new space, including a fresh set of new restaurants. You can always find a solid oyster from the nearby Long Island Sound, and now the reimagined area will feature a smorgasbord of food trucks, a new outdoor garden bar, a 50,000 square-foot seafood market in the historic building next to Pier 17, and more. Whatever you’re into, keep a lemon wedge and cocktail sauce close by.
