New York’s dynamic new dining destination.

The historic Seaport cobblestones where shipping magnates once congregated in illicit drinking parlors and the first immigrant fleets were welcomed, is now New York’s most exciting and eclectic place to eat and drink. From cult vegan cuisine to authentic Italian specialties indulgent burgers to addictive ice cream, it’s easy to spend a full day and night eating your way around the waterfront—with more to come back for.

Right now is one of the most magical times to visit the Seaport: the cobblestones are aglow with festive decorations based on illustrations by American artist Kris Ruhs who created the visual identity for 10 Corso Como. Ruh’s vibrant public artworks can be seen along Fulton Street, featured on 300 ornaments adorning the Seaport Christmas tree, and on the dazzling installation that decorates the façade of the Garden Bar. Here are just some of the Holiday highlights at our favorite Seaport eateries.
