Historic neighborhoods: The Seaport, NY

The Seaport is one of those parts of NYC that I always forget exists but love visiting on a late summer day! They used to have the best concerts and events here and I love getting ice cream and just sitting by the water and looking at the buildings. Theres the Schermerhorn Row, South Street Seaport Museum and the most beautiful views of the Brooklyn Bridge. If you haven’t been here this summer yet and are from nyc or visiting I suggest stopping by before it gets too cold and windy by the water! It has such a chill vibe. Definitely want to go to a concert here soon.
