"Nothing's fishy here..."

Best known for its traditional fish market, Fulton Street today leads into the South Street Seaport, a bizarre cross between a charming tourist attraction and a decidedly charmless mall. The new developments at South Street Seaport have turned this once-historic port area into a shopping centre, with mixed results. On the one hand, the ships still in the harbor, the smell of appetizingly fresh fish, and the wooden gangways all provide a sense of history unparalleled by much of Manhattan, with the exception of Fraunces Tavern and parts of New Amsterdam. On the other hand, the shopping complex itself is relatively uniform and uninteresting, with bland retail chains dotting the admittedly picturesque glass building. Yet South Street Seaport does offer contemporary delights. There's a wealth on here in the summers, including the alternative Spiegeltent, a 19th-century-style circus tent that has in the past played home to singer-songwriter Vienna Teng and rock impresario Duncan Sheik, lately of Spring Awakening fame. The dining here is good and, as you might imagine, rather pescatarian in its leanings. Try old-school Bridge Cafe or straightforwardly named Fish Market.
Pros
  • Some of the city's best seafood restaurant
  • Great nightlife in summertime
  • Historical interest of the seaport
Cons
  • The mall is a bit bland
  • It smells quite a bit like fish

"Neve forgotten memory"

When I was a kid my mom took me here to the fish market where you could watch the fish come in and be packed. They even let me go over and throw a slimy fish to the packer. Fulton st takes you to the South Street Seaport where you can wander off in your own world of peace. The view of the East River is amazing. Occasionally mimes are out to entertain you. Fulton st can be more dirty and smell funny but overall a good site.

"French architecture has played its part in Fulton Street."

Fulton Street has such a quaint feel to it that you almost have to question whether it belongs in New York at all. The style of the buildings owes a great deal to French architecture and there is a unique charm about this part of the city. Its never going to top your list of things to see but if you tire of craning your neck all day looking at skyscrapers, blessed relief can come in Fulton Street.

"Busy construction site"

Fulton Street is an incredibly busy street that runs through lower Manhattan. Fulton street was once famous for the Fulton Fish Market, but the market relocated in 2005 to a Bronx facility. Left in it's wreckage is an odd smell that still permeates in the area. The South Street Seaport, however, still remains a great point of interest and offers great views, good dining and overall, a good time. The area has been under construction for sometime already and is well behind the projects time line. The construction has caused a good deal of mass chaos. Fulton Street also runs close to the WTC site, which can be difficult to navigate as well.

"Fun, but can also be relaxing....."

While the famous fish market is no longer there, at the end of Fulton Street, you will find the South Street Seaport, which is full of shops and restaurants. When you get tire of shopping, you can just relax and watch the many types of ships and tugs doing business on the East River. Before you get to the Seaport, you can see some gorgeous examples of Beaux Arts architecture. Also, you can see some buildings with the lofts of the young affluent of the area.

"Better living facilities"

Fulton street can be traversed in the Manhattan district of New York city. Many building establishments are occupied by financial institutions and private offices. This street is very crowded and not so easy to access. Apart from vehicular traffic sanitation and pedestrians are taken care of by covering drains and providing a larger space for pedestrians. Buildings along this street are mainly hotels and small lodges. There are architectural sites some of them having great importance.
