4 FULTON FISH MARKET Te Fulton Fish Market was located in the Seaport District from 1822, originally in a wooden shed and then in several other buildings before in
bus ine s s tr a v el ler .c om
1907 being housed in what became known as the Tin Building because of its corrugated metal façade. In 2005 the market moved to the Bronx and is still here today. Te Tin Building was damaged by flooding in 2012 and has been rebuilt about ten metres away, further from the FDR Drive. It will house a seafood-themed food hall by acclaimed chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, set to open in 2022.
5 FOOD AND DRINK
Tere’s plenty of choice, from an outpost of vegan chain By Chloe (
eatbychloe.com) to the Big Gay Ice Cream parlour (
biggayicecream.com). Pier 17 has several options, including Bar Wayo (
wayo.momofuku.com) for Asian fusion food and craſt ales, and Vongerichten’s the Fulton for seafood (
jean-georges.com; pictured above). Tere are lots of good bars but perhaps
for a taste of earlier, less gentrified times, you should try Jeremy’s Ale House (
jeremysalehouse.com). Its current location on Front Street is one of several it has had in the area over the years, but the vibe of seafood and beers remains the same, as do the women’s bras hanging from the ceiling. It prides itself on having discounted drinks for breakfast, if you find the jet lag has really messed up your body clock. For something more sophisticated,
the Garden Bar is a great choice (
bzpny.com/garden-bar), but also try R17, a rooſtop bar at the top of Pier 17 (pictured top right) overlooking the East River. It is open throughout the day for drinks and food although is occasionally closed for concerts or private events (see
r17nyc.com). For more information on the area visit
