The South Street Seaport Village, in NYC, is a bustling center of trendy shops ad eateries. You will find Victoria's Secret, Abercrombie and Fitch, and many more familiar names. Doesn't it look wonderful, the old brick and cobblestones well over 200 years old and yet they are still there, appreciated and in use.
This was once a busy seaport, the reflection of New York as an old seaport town full of trade activity. Merchants, ship chandlers, sailmakers and figurehead carvers took care of business while boarding houses, saloons and brothels took care of pleasure. If these streets could talk, huh?
In 1967, Peter and Norma Stanford paved the way for this wonderful historic area to be perserved, and today many tourists can shop, look up, and down to experience a bit of AMerican History. Gotta Love It!

I am going to NYC in May and will try to check this out. We are actually going to see a baseball game at Shea and Yankee stadium before they tear them down. We will be there a week , so we will be doing a lot of subway surfing.
Servidor: Thank you very much, thanks for stopping by
Texastrue: Go by and take a look, you will love it. It is a very small reflection of Boston and Fanuiel Hall area, but fun. We also took in a Yankee game while there..loved it! The Blue bus tours are good too, but you have been there before so you probably know that ;0)
