South Street Seaport is centered around the historic area between Fulton Street and the East River. Here converted 19th century mercantile buildings and the floating Pier 17 are home to chain stores found in most American malls, along with Seaport restaurants and exhibition spaces. Visitors (read, "tourists) flock to the Seaport for views of the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges and restored ships, while residents of the district's high-rises savor an oasis of old-time New York right near their Wall Street offices.
