Join longtime Seaport advocate Stephen Dima and artist Naima Rauam for their annual walk back in time along historic South Street to celebrate Louis Morino and his legendary restaurant, Sloppy Louie’s, once a warm harbor for fishmongers and workers. Immortalized by New Yorker writer Joseph Mitchell in Up in the Old Hotel, Louie’s stood at the heart of the bustling Fulton Fish Market, where the air carried the scent of salt and ice, and the voices of a thousand early-morning deals. Your journey begins at the former site of Louie’s, now the Fulton Stall Market, your guides will share some stories, photos and film that whisper of vanished days. Then wander the streets of the Seaport together, where past and present blur, and glimpse the shadows and stories of the neighborhood’s legendary characters who still seem to linger in the brick and cobblestones.
