New York - South Street Seaport

The South Street Seaport was New York's port during the 19th century. Today, after restoration and development, the seaport is now brimming with stores, restaurants, historic buildings and museums, the Fulton Fish Market, and views of the Brooklyn Bridge and the East River.

Historic ships docked alongside the piers include the second-largest sailing ship in the world, Peking.
