This seaport dates back to the 1600's. It was renovated about 30 years ago to become a historic landmark as well as a shopping mall. It features amazing views of the East River and the Brooklyn Bridge. The mall is divided into three sections—one based in the original home of New York City's fish market, another at Pier 17 along the water, and the final section in the Fulton Market building near South Street. A center of activities, events, a maritime museum, dining and shopping, this is an important NYC experience!
