One of my favorite places in the seaport. They have a perfect area by the long steps to be closer to the water. A nice gate to protect us. Lots of seating space. Installed cool wood laying seats to make watching the water, boats, and sunset even more comfortable and hard to leave ! Area to eat outdoors is right here and a ping pong table for anyone to play.

First time over here, and I love it. They have the ferry. Plenty of restaurants, hotels, entertainment. Even adult entertainment, nothing overtly explicit. Meaning, leave the kids at the hotel and enjoy a night out with the wife or friends. Beautiful scenery. Recommend for all ages .

Great place to relax and take in the scenery. There are chairs around to sit in. Better vibes than Pier 17 in my opinion.

We had a nice time exploring pier 15 while waiting for a Water taxi to see the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Great views of Lower Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Brooklyn Bridge.It was a great place to learn a little history while waiting.If you are in the Southside seaport area stop in and check it out.

Really good renovation after Sandy. Calm place to relax and hang out. Cool breeze with beautiful views of the Brooklyn Bridge. Also the Pier 17 is right next to it.

This is absolutely a great spot for taking photos of New York. Also if youre a local it looks like a lot of people come out here to sunbathe theres a species grassy spots and then a lot of chairs to just sit and relax on the water. There is a nice breeze out and even though it was really hot definitely a place I could hang out for a while.

Great views of Brooklyn Bridge and turn round for great views of Manhattan even better at night. Cool place to eat food bought just up the hill in Fulton Street market where you can buy hot food buffet style and sold by weight at $10 a pound.

Absolutely awesome place with wide view of brooklyn bridge

Beautiful area to relax and take a breather, atmosphere is cozy and during mid-day people traffic was low. Some of the coolest views of ships, bridges and people... plenty of seating and photo spots. Grab a snack or some lunch and enjoy it on the pier, stop by on your way to the Brooklyn Bridge... we’re glad we did!

It’s a nice place to relax and enjoy the skyline of Brooklyn heights and the bridge. It can get quite windy but it’s always great to catch a fresh air with wave of the sea breeze that you can hear. You can just sit there and as well as get a nice pictures! You can see the boats and helicopters passing by as it’s one of the activities you can do around this area!

Great spot in NYC. Sad to see it so empty due to Covid-19

Amazing boat rides to the Brooklyn Bridge, Ellis Island, the skyline, Battery Park, and Statue of Liberty. The lines are not long and there is no security checkpoint, but please be careful the boat and throw you around on the choppy waters. So use your balance wisely. You will need it!! Also there options to sit on the top of the boat or inside. You decide!

Beautiful place to walk around with friends and families.

Popular place. A real gem. We took the Hornblower cruise and loved it. Fantastic cruise a nd wonderful pier. Awesome atmosphere.

Beautiful place! Watched July 4th fireworks here!

Visited in November 2016. It was a lovely sunny day and not too cold. Spent around an hour here.

We went to visit the place as family. One of our sons adores the boats. Apparently the ticketing service was good. There is a museum situated on the pier not so rich in facts but we were prepared for a long wait to take the tugboat. It was supposed to go at 1.30 PM. At 1.45 still nothing happend and then a short summer rain came. The boat and the crew were present on the pier they were looking and laughing like professional sailors. Although we were three families waiting in the rain, they didnt make any announcement about delay/cancellation of our trip. After 2 hours spent on the Pier 15 and completely wet, we decided to leave and ask for our money back. Did you know that in Customer Service history, just apologizing doesnt add value to your service?

Ive been living here for one year. This is my most frequented place. And Im moving to LA, I cant bear to leave New York.

A nice place to unwind and enjoy the gentle breeze with the views of the bridges and the river

I checked out the free Firefox ferry from 11/14-11/16, from Pier 15 to Greenpoint. It was such a fast commute and the views were excellent. The pier platform is large and organized and boarding/exiting was super easy.

Cool place to chill out, rooftop grass or lay down benches with nice views of Brooklyn. Towering in the background of downtown manhattan

Nice but was very misty and too early. Would go back again.

A real relax. Beautiful views of Brooklyn Bridge and in the distance even Liberty Island. You see a lot of ships, ferries designed for tourists. Also helicopters. Cozy ambience.

Beautiful pier with some of the best views of the Brooklyn Bridge in the city. Its a perfect place to relax or take some very scenic photos. Theres a film studio close by and it is not uncommon to see television stars enjoying the ambiance of the area

Great place for views of the financial district from the East River. Go across the river vis Brooklyn bridge for even better views!

Great views and good place for relaxation.

Great spot! Family friendly.

Very nice on a cloudy and windy morning

The ship from 1885 was cool to look at and read about but we came at night and everything was closed off.

The service the Drinks and the food EXCELLENT.

Excellent place everything good, food tastes

Fun and historic. Walk over to the seaport museum and go back in time.

New York City offers so many option to have a great and unforgettable experience. This Dinner Boat is a good example.

Lovely place to walk around around, take some boat rides, appreciate NYC view or just do nothing!

I took a 1hr tour there. I had so much fun.

Lot of history pertains to these docks. Come for the history. Stay for scenery

Great views, clean, and people seem to be so crazed about lining up for the ferrys that they don’t even notice this gem!

The view is unbelievable and spectacular. Explore New York all over again.

Beautiful spot. Stunning.

Great! Nice.

Within 1 hour it completes the journey to Statue of Liberty

Peaceful escape from the busy city streets. Early morning here offers a serene view of Brooklyn as the city comes to life around you.

Nice place at the water, from where you can see all 3 bridges. ^_^

I did not explore every nook and cranny but the renovated area looks really good. Its ambiance is welcoming and sets the mood for a beautiful night. The music being played was also very nice. I have to revisit to try the eateries.

Living Water Warriors-Faith*Hope & Love #2019 walking for Mental Health Awareness and faith.

Nicely updated East River promenade... Interesting array of resturants, Cabaret venues, ice skating rink, novelty shops and other such... As before, tge views are breathtaking. Nice setting in which to unwind and let go.

Wow you feel like youre not in a city

Hanging with my baby girl!

Dope spot good for bike riding

It was my first time back since before Sandy. It looks amazing. I certainly miss the lounge chairs. They have these strange modern bar style seats where the lounge chairs used to be. I didnt go inside. It all looks very fancy. Not really my cup of tea anymore. I spent much of my youth here. I would ride my bike and walk here from east river park. We would go to the mall, eat at Johnny rockets and hang out in the lounge chairs. I dont see myself returning.

The boats, the water, the things to do... You can be social or take time out to be quiet, theres something there for everyone.

Love this spot. Great views.

Went on a holiday weekend with my family. Everyone was friendly, engaging, and fun. Would recommend taking the boat excursion around Ellis Island during the evening.

Amazing

The views & the vibes are amazing

Had a great a lovely time on a horn blower cruise at sunset. The city views from the river are stunning and the staff in the boat was awesome

Very exciting area lots of shops in a quaint cobblestone street setting and what could be better lunch/dinner by the water.

Great chill place they really recreated as place To match the city

Coming along beautifully construction almost finished and its still pretty open because a lot of people havent discovered this spot yet. It was a great place to stop and fix my bike while biking up the east river.

Relaxing and relaxing quiet. A nice respite from the busy city. Also, make sure to enjoy the views of Lady Liberty aboard the Circle Sea Cruise!

Pier 15 is for sightseeing of the statue of liberty and Brooklyn bridge

Great views.

Awesome moments!

Just waiting on the Ferrie to head back to Far Rockaway (Queens). Its a change from the A train or as you can see getting stuck on the BQE in midday traffic.

Great visit here..

Best place to have a date at night especially if youre into nature. The view of downtown Manhattan can be seen after you go up the stairs. Seems like a mini park with a lot of seats

Great time on the horn blowers cruise. Good time for the amount of money spent. Would definitely recommend.

Really cool place. Awesome View

Nice views of the river.

Its still under construction, the last rehab about 20yrs ago looks due for another rehab ..the contractors did not do enough forward planning or poor maintenance but most is falling apart aside from industry kitchen.

This place I have mixed feelings, while the beautiful scenery is Viberate , I cant help thinking where is my beloved South Street sea port of back in the day there is no stores to get cady ,no shops , no nothing for a guy to hangout except expensive restaurants not really a place for a New Yorker more a place for tourists we are seeing this more and more where local land marks are being alter from our history ,dang is there a way to lock everything up lol lol

Nice place to relax with a view of East River bridges, downtown Manhattan and Brooklyn promenade. Two level available, both with chairs and benches. Good for lunch if you bring your own. The only problem is that horrible northern view onto the rebuilt Sea Port which looks like a high security prison, absolute disgrace.

It was a beautiful day to walk around down by the pier.

This place has changed a lot. Its not the Historic Seaport I am used to. I believe its still a work in progress, so nothing to see right now unless youre just going to ride your bike or walk around.

Fantastic place with great views of brooklyn and manhattan. I think its one of the gems of nyc that tourists dont really pay attention to, but in my mind its an absolute must visit.

I missed the old Seaport so mosied on over one evening while in the area to see how its been renovated. Gone are the levels and loungers where you could walk and lay outside and look at the water. Before, it was like a shopping mall on the water. Now...I dunno what it is. Its bright...colorful. Actually looks pretty from a distance. But...what else? Ill hafta go back one day and go inside and find out.

A lot of tourists but interesting place to see the river traffic, tall ships and nice views of the Brooklyn Bridge!

They had great vendors out today. They had apple cider my fav! And apple cider donuts. They have a bunch of shops and eateries. IPIC movie theater is close by. Parking is tricky but it’s easy to get a Uber or Lyft. It’s also located right under the Brooklyn bridge.

Hornblower 4th of July Dinner Cruise.Absolutely Great! But...Not sure why we viewed the fireworks REALLY REALLY FAR AWAY. Did I say really FAR away... That because we were on the OTHER side of the Bridge... but overall a great cruise. If you expect to get a front row fireworks cruise, look elsewhere. If your look for a great cruise, great service and fun times... This a wonderful cruise to try.

Great place to walk around

Beautiful scenery and many things to do. A nice spot to watch the Circle Line and yachts go by or see a helicopter fly off and land.

Nice place to hang out in the summer and walk after lunch or dinner.

Favorite place

Nice relatively quiet spot on the eastern edge of the financial district. Watch the ferries come and go. In the Summertime it gets pretty hot, bring your sunscreen!Right next to to the South Street Seaport Museums dock and only a 3 minute walk to the museum. Great place to learn about early Manhattan.

Good benches. Nice view. Decent birding (pigeons).

Absolutely a great party on the sensation yacht cant wait til next year!

Beautiful location, great photo ops for the brooklyn bridge, everything you could need is a block away at South Street Seaport. Fair warning for tourists: if you’re going here at night- there is no shortage of rats.

I visited after hours and although the water was nice to sit by . I was looking for some kind of excitement

Great views!

ITS A PLACE, THAT YOU WOULD WANT TO VISIT ALL OF THE TIME.,AMEN

Beautiful location to get a break from work during your lunch our.

I really love this experience I hope they open up the waterways to more places in the Bronx hopefully Co-op City and parks and so would be nice I loved it five stars

Lovely place for a Sunday afternoon date or to hangout with friends and family.

This place provides nice, affordable boat rides during happy hour times. Nice place to go after work in the summer months. Always a nice evening.

Shopping is nonexistent only kiosks grifters. Best to bypass this location

Wow. Just wow. Went at night and was blown away. Loved it

It has industry city next to it. Can grab some food n look at views. Watermark bar is near by as well n right on the water.

Great spot to eat lunch in peace.Very rarely is there anyone being too loud. At most, youll get a couple tourists taking a picture (the view of the Brooklyn Bridge is fantastic).The space is always clean, so take you food wrappers back with you and keep it that way.

It is near a famous bridge-Brooklyn Bridge,and the old wooden ship is very beautiful.

Good to see the statue of liberty and the brooklyn bridge
