The lounge chairs on the deck is a relaxing place for you to read the paper, fall asleep. Sometimes it is very crowded, you might only be able to get only one chair. It is a good excuse to sit on the lap of your honey. It overlooks the water. It is actually quite beautiful, (if you don't mind the occasional piece of garbage floating in the Hudson River). No but seriously, it is reaaaaally a nice view on a nice summer or spring day.
Pros: romantic

Lots of shops...like a big mall. I like the cobblestone area across the street the best. Crowded. Very commercialized. Good place to find lots of stores, but a long walk from the subway - only good if you want to spend a few hours there, not quick shopping trips.

Sitting on the waterside, sipping a cocktail & watching the boats pass by, or the Brooklyn Bridge rossing the Hudson or the Verazano in the distanace. Lovely sunsets that you can almost touch. A very romantic spot.
Pros: Lots to do & see, nice meeting places, decent area restaur.
Cons: expensive, crowded on weekends

First couple of visits to South St, Seaport were fun and exciting, checking out the little shops(EXPENSIVE) and restaurants and stores in the small mall. After about the 3rd or whatever time going, it was really same old same old, expensive, nothing REALLY remarkable , about it , EXCEPT the views of the East River, and the Brooklyn Bridge, always outstanding. One July summer, early evening we managed to catch an outdoor band complete with horns, that was exceptional! The sun was over by the East River, the sky was deep blue, it was 80 degrees and dry(for once) and just a lovely way to enjoy an early evening in a MOST fabulous city. So, wonderful if your lucky enough to stumble upon an outdoor venue like that, otherwise, smells sometimes, and very touristy, and expensive. Sometimes you will catch street performers on the Brick section, near the outdoor restaurants.
Pros: open, airy, outdoors
Cons: expensive, crowded, can be smelly

great view of brooklyn and the river; but if you don't like crowds- then this may not be your thing. it's a different view of new york, and it's nice for visitors or if you just want a drink and enjoy the view; it's okay to try once. otherwise you may be better off going to boat basin for a nice view and cheap drink.
Pros: great view
Cons: out of the way, crowded

A romantic inexpensive date! Can be a little smelly @ times, but if you go to the upstair level of the mall and sip a pina colada on the lawn style chairs that face the East river... that's pricesless! The scenary around you is unbelievable! I love NY!
