South Street Seaport Mall closed?

Yep. It's very sad. I used to live down there and it was one of my favorite places to go and hang out. The outside deck from the 3rd story, looking out onto the water was my favorite place in the entire city.

Um...I believe Pier 17 is still open. A lot of the stores in the cobblestoned area (J. Crew/Gap) were hit hard during Sandy. But Guess and Abercrombie and a few others are still open. There are some outdoor food vendors that are pretty yummy. There's an It's Sugar where you can buy enormous Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. That may be more of a con than a pro. And, as I said, the shops at Pier 17 are still open. At least they were about a week ago...unless something has happened very recently.

They've also put up an ice rink in the cobblestone section. Has something happened in the last week?

I've been there many times since September. I work near there and walk around on my lunch hours sometimes.

Sadness, and Bargains, as Mall at South Street Seaport Shuts Down

Renovations to South Street Seaport include new mall

I guess I haven't gone into Pier 17 since September...but the area before it still has a few stores, as well as the TKTS booth. And the temporary ice rink. It may not be worth coming down for that, but you could walk over and take in Trinity Church.
