This pier used to be a hub of commerce and trade, with ships coming in and out every day, bringing goods from all over the world. \n\nPier 17 is a multi-level shopping, dining, and entertainment destination in the South Street Seaport. But there's more to this pier than meets the eye! Here are some unique and valuable pieces of information about Pier 17:\n\nPier 17 has a rich history dating back to the 19th century. The pier was originally built in 1811 as a cargo terminal and was later expanded in the 1930s to accommodate larger ships. During World War II, the pier was used as a naval base and storage facility. In the 1980s, the pier was transformed into a retail and entertainment hub, which it remains today. \n\nThe design of Pier 17 is unique and innovative. The pier features a sleek glass façade and an open-air, multi-level design that offers breathtaking views of the East River and the New York skyline. The spacious and airy atmosphere makes it a popular destination for locals and tourists alike.\n\nEntertainment: In addition to shopping and dining, Pier 17 is also a hub of entertainment. The pier features a concert venue, a movie theater, and a variety of other events and activities throughout the year. From live music and comedy shows to cultural festivals and outdoor movies, there's always something going on at Pier 17.\n\nToday, Pier 17 is a shopping and dining destination, offering stunning views of the East River and the Brooklyn Bridge.

It is one of the most iconic landmarks in New York City, connecting the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn over the East River. The bridge is a masterpiece of 19th-century engineering and a symbol of the city's spirit and resilience.\n\nWe to the Brooklyn Bridge can walk or bike across the bridge's pedestrian walkway, which offers stunning views of the skyline, the harbor, and the river. On a clear day, you can see as far as the Statue of Liberty and the Manhattan skyline.\n\nThe Brooklyn Bridge was completed in 1883 and was the first steel-wire suspension bridge in the world. At the time of its construction, it was considered a technological marvel, and its design was considered so revolutionary that it was named a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark.\n\nOne unique aspect of the Brooklyn Bridge is its history as a symbol of immigrant life in New York City. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the bridge was a busy thoroughfare for workers and families who crossed the river from Brooklyn to Manhattan to work and live. The bridge is also remembered for its role in the Labor Movement and the fight for workers' rights, as it was the site of several important labor strikes in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.\n\nWhether you're a history buff, an architecture enthusiast, or just looking for a unique way to experience the city, a visit to the Brooklyn Bridge is a must. Just a short walk from the South Street Seaport, the bridge is easily accessible and offers visitors a chance to experience the rich history and stunning views that make New York City one of the world's greatest cities."},{"type":"audio","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FCwT5EFL5XdrExbMOcKNs%2Fsynthesized_audio%20(10).mp3?alt=media&token=18038f8a-cbd3-4d22-b021-bf7749032fcb"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FCwT5EFL5XdrExbMOcKNs%2F96307e6b1c94285d65cb15b592ba0e67.jpg?alt=media&token=2fe8607a-cc94-4680-b6f3-d323ed8b4567"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FCwT5EFL5XdrExbMOcKNs%2Fd99d2f0b3e2053b282b7e945fa097065.jpg?alt=media&token=f05feeb9-6977-4f4d-b279-63a727ea1a42"},{"type":"video","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FCwT5EFL5XdrExbMOcKNs%2FSnaptik.app_7095710731923934506.mp4?alt=media&token=a8fad50f-43c0-4b91-93dd-8645d1859afe"}]},{"address":"Brooklyn Bridge Park","location":{"longitudeDelta":0.14321712068773834,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":40.69904226365873,"longitude":-73.99721275000002},"media":[{"type":"text","content":"# Brooklyn Bridge Park"},{"type":"text","content":"Our final stop on the tour is the Brooklyn Bridge Park, located just a short walk from the Brooklyn Bridge.
