I thought for a minute you were gonna walk past the old Fulton Fish Market without talking about it! Lol Another great video Tom, there's some fantastic history to be told about that area and you nailed it, yet again!
Oh. Tom you are such a ham, peeking up out of the Seaport sign 😂 Why, hasn’t Hollywood call you up to give you a talk show?!?!? Better yet go on America’s Got Talent!! Thanks for another informative tour!!! 👍❤️
Back then when the Fulton fish Market was there you couldn't walk through there because of the stench coming out of the sewers from the fish slime. Yet all the fish were fresh and distributed by orders. The seaport built after the market moved to Hunts Point, had several restaurants available and several stores to shop . Then there was Captain hooks which many tourists went to pickup pirate stuff, sponges, sea shells etc. Then there was Sloppy Louise which made the most wonderful chowder anyone could have for lower Manhattan.
Believe it or not, I ran an old press like one in your video. I only did it one Christmas season for a place called Miles Kimball. I printed on lunch bags and paper bread bags. That was about 30 yrs ago. I came home at night with more ink on me than the machine.
23:28 - Pier 17 was developed by the Rouse Company as an urban 'festival marketplace' mall similar to developments they had done at Faneuil Hall Marketplace, Boston and Baltimore Inner Harbor.
It's a cool area. It was not mentioned on the video, but a really Great AMC series was filmed there. The series Rubicon was filmed at the seaport area around the Fulton Fish Market and the Brookland Bridge.
the south street seaport museum is so great! and largely because of the sheer number of artifacts they have. like you mentioned there was so much pottery and jewelry and personal belongings excavated in these parts and the museum has it all! the other best part is the amazing old boats they've up-keeped. you can walk on them and evrything, they are so grand!
Yes, and such a beauuutiful personality! He clearly knows his stuff, and enjoys sharing with us! Fun, witty, and very informative!! I've never been to New York, but I have a friend who was born and raised there. She lives in Texas now (same as myself) and it's clear that although she's adjusted well, ...this is not her home. 'Home' will Always be New York for her!!!😎
Your site is great!before covid I did a whole year ,starting with new years until Christmas at st pats.u have shown me so many things I didn't know. I can't wait to get back.thanks for your site
“Head knowledge” ?!! As opposed to (juvenile) backwards-trucker-hat knowledge? Or watch-me-piss-off-this-security-guard knowledge? Or is it ‘another strength he has’ : Speed-talking through broad-strokes historical info, while cracking wise with the photographer knowledge ?
Colears Hook is next to that area in Manhattan. That's how HOOKERS (ladies of the night) get their name. It was a low income area sailors would frequent to have “entertainment.” It’s on Grand street and a stop on the NYC ferry presently.
US time zones began on November 18, 1883, America’s railroads began using a standard time system involving four time zones, Eastern, Central, Mountain and Pacific.
My grandfather, was a Captain off Tall Ships era, into steam. Have Picture off him at New York Harbor. He should only know , I immigrated from Denmark. Had my Art time in New York , Brooklyn, when studing Art at NYU.. lots off good memories. Press machine awesome, they had one at" Print Workshop" in Village, for Art, am also gravure artist. Love that part off visual art. Pearl Street , where you got fine Art materials. Brooklyn Bridge great...🎨🦅🗽🇺🇸🇩🇰🎉📬agree with your purpose,people history.🌉Well Done⭐
I worked in the building above Tkts. It’s a great area of the city. Ate at the Paris Cafe often, so I’m sad to see it’s closed. Was hoping you’d explain the clock wall above the Starbucks, as I could never get the story. Love your tours though!
Tom, we need Sick Plugs of any of your tours and comedy shows, if you’re doing them. I was waiting for a joke when you passed the “Imagination Playground”, so I guess I’ll just keep my own punchline in my own head. Great job as always! You, too, Stewie!
Tom, I've heard that Same Ear👂 Story here @ HellCat Annie's in HK ...seems every old bar in NY has some legendary stories of badass bouncers & barmaids that took matters in their own mouths!! 😆😂😆
GREAT TOUR!!!!!!! WOW, THE UPGRADE TO THE SEAPORT, IS AMAZING!!!!!!! IT WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE HANGOUT SPOTS, BEFORE IT WAS REVENATED... PLAN ON VISING SOON, TO SEE THE UPDATE, AND, I RAN INTO YOUR VIDEO!!!!!!! AGAIN, THANK YOU!!!!!!!
Just one thing. The lighthouse that was a memorial to the Titanic was originally on top of the Seamens institute. Not too far from where it is now. The South Street Museum was able to save it. When I last saw it was just sitting on the dock at the museum. At that time, they only had the light ship, a schooner, and a sailing ship. The light ship was the Ambrose, and the sailing ship was the Wavertree. The Museum was just getting started. The neighborhood was not very nice at the time either. Abandoned cars trash and generally run down. Good video.
I've been there .It's very nice. You shoud have mentioned that on Pearl Street is a plaque where Thomas Edison had a power plant in 1882 where he wired a portion of Manhattan to show the feasibility of electricity. to light streets. J.P. Morgan was one of the investors and had his house wired also.
Near the South Street Seaport, on Pearl Street, is the location of the first electric power plant Thomas Edison built when he electrified a portion of the Wall Street area in the 1880s to show that it worked J.P .Morgan had his house wired and financed Edison;s operations, There are also some sailing ships docked there you can visit.
South Street Seaport is very underrated I’m glad you chose to do a short video on it. Nice one Tom, my fingers are crossed that I’ll be able to get over in September 22. From this side of the pond here in England (Brexitland 🇪🇺🤭) hope to see you then. 🤞🏻
The symphony hall in my hometown of Nashville is named for Kenneth Schermerhorn. He was from upstate New York, but I wonder if he was part of the same family.
Tom
Needs his own travel show
I H does, he could easily work for the travel channel or something
This needs more traction. Totally agree!
@Melian For a big network we mean
Delgado you OWN this city as much as anybody. Best wishes.
You are the most exciting tour guide out there 😜
Interesting neighborhood and good work by your new camera guy Stewie.
Entertaining, the right amount of info without it becoming encyclopedic, and the host has a nice attitude. Well worth the time!
So true.
Shoutout to Dorlan’s Tavern which, for any tourists, has my FAVORITE burger in the city!
Love that you mentioned Jeremy’s Ale House!
Best Manhattan videos on TH-cam! Thank you.
As you were saying "just what we need, another condo", that eyesore by the Manhattan Bridge came into view.

as the kids say!
During your visit to the print shop, it would have been interesting to note where the term "upper case" and "lower case" comes from.
OH!!!!!! I FIRGIT TO GIVE STEWIE, A SHOUT OUT!!!!!!! HE DID A GREAT JOB AS WELL!!!!!!!
Thanks for showing us the South Street Seaport section of Lower Manhattan and its sites. This is a very good educational video to see.
Best TH-cam videos I've seen yet on Manhattan. And, I've been searching for two years. Thank you for all you do to educate. Excellent camera work.
This was one of my fav spots to visit back in the days. It has no soul now.
Believe it or not, I ran an old press like one in your video. I only did it one Christmas season for a place called Miles Kimball. I printed on lunch bags and paper bread bags. That was about 30 yrs ago. I came home at night with more ink on me than the machine.
All of Tom’s videos are filled with tons of interesting information. He should have his own show on the history channel, or Discovery,orTravel Channel

Its amazing how you remember all the history , well done and thank you 😊
Flash cards…I think. 😂😂😂😂
Tom for Mayor
Love the history of South Street Southport, so cool cobblestone streets, beautiful views at Pier 17, my favourite area in NY ❤️
what a gorgeous, smart man!
Yes, and such a beauuutiful personality! He clearly knows his stuff, and enjoys sharing with us! Fun, witty, and very informative!!

One of the few areas of Manhattan I haven't visited. Top of my list for next time. Great video!
6:19 Café Patoro 🇧🇷
Tom,you just like history encyclopedia . This place bring back memories.
Can’t believe they changed Pier 17. I haven’t been down there in like 9 years.
Your site is great!before covid I did a whole year ,starting with new years until Christmas at st pats.u have shown me so many things I didn't know. I can't wait to get back.thanks for your site
Thanks! I learned a lot.
You Are super funny. Love watching your videos. Almost make me want to move back, Almost
👍🏾 Love these where you interact more with people.it’s another strength you have, not just head knowledge. Thanks 👌🏾
Tom did not give you a little heart thing . . . he skipped over you . . Thats wierd.
“Head knowledge” ?!! As opposed to (juvenile) backwards-trucker-hat knowledge? Or watch-me-piss-off-this-security-guard knowledge? Or is it ‘another strength he has’ : Speed-talking through broad-strokes historical info, while cracking wise with the photographer knowledge ?
Just found your videos 2024. This one is my favorite so far. The printing shop was the best!

instant classic...
2:55 - West-side / Hudson River
Here is the East River, less current flow than on the Hudson River.
I worked in the building above Tkts. It’s a great area of the city. Ate at the Paris Cafe often, so I’m sad to see it’s closed. Was hoping you’d explain the clock wall above the Starbucks, as I could never get the story. Love your tours though!
Never thought I would see the Seaport in this way, very different, cool
Excellent video as usual so impressed with your knowledge and talent!
I acctually missed that part of Manhattan, I've been there only 2x and I never knew about those hidden places. Great video!
This was a great video staying at 33 seaport can’t wait
great video you look like a mix between glenn howerton and ben stiller
I live in Clearwater and work in Tampa but originally from LES. Love it man. Trading places
Was the Fulton fish market in the '60's & '70's.
Tom, we need Sick Plugs of any of your tours and comedy shows, if you’re doing them. I was waiting for a joke when you passed the “Imagination Playground”, so I guess I’ll just keep my own punchline in my own head. Great job as always! You, too, Stewie!
Perfect, love NYC from a distance and best presentation I've seen.
Tom, I've heard that Same Ear👂 Story here @ HellCat Annie's in HK ...seems every old bar in NY has some legendary stories of badass bouncers & barmaids that took matters in their own mouths!! 😆😂😆
Thanks Tom!
I miss New York so much! 🧡
Great video, sad they changed it from the good old days of the old seaport of the 80s and 90s. Had some good times there. 😎
GREAT TOUR!!!!!!! WOW, THE UPGRADE TO THE SEAPORT, IS AMAZING!!!!!!! IT WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE HANGOUT SPOTS, BEFORE IT WAS REVENATED... PLAN ON VISING SOON, TO SEE THE UPDATE, AND, I RAN INTO YOUR VIDEO!!!!!!! AGAIN, THANK YOU!!!!!!!

Tom is so cool 😎
Great show! Author Edith Wharton had Schermerhorn ancestry (as well as many other early socially prominent families).
Excellent history as usual 👍❤️

Love your Dutch, Tom 😉 Parelstraat aka Pearl Street. Regards from Belgium.
Always enjoyed your tour videos. Keep it up man.
Tom is great, but also surprised he didn’t mention South St Seaport role in the slavery industry.
