Food Court

Like every shopping mall in the country, the mall that was once Pier 17 at the South Street Seaport has a food court with a number of fast food places.  Nathan's Famous is of course famous in this part of the country especially on Coney Island in Brooklyn.  I love their hot dogs, but I wish they'd learn to make decent french fries.  I haven't seen too many Arthur Treacher's  places these days and was surprised to see it here.  I've never developed a taste for fish, either with or without chips.  I didn't partake of any of these fast foods, since I was having dinner a little later in the day at Mark Joseph's Steakhouse, just a few blocks from here, which I highly recommend.

Printing Press

This was taken during a recent trip to the South Street Seaport in New York City.  We were there the last week of December and I've posted some other images from that trip in this blog.  Although the Seaport Museum was closed for the season, there were a couple of galleries and shops open for the holidays, including this 19th Century era Print shop.  The equipment there still works.  It was like taking a step back in time entering this print shop.

Beer Here

Heartland Brewery, South St Seaport, New York, NY 

This guy has his hands full.  It took me some trial and error and get the exposure right on this painting.  At least he was patient, and stood really still while I took his picture.   This is taken with the Nikon D90, ISO 200 f/7.1, 1/60 sec using a AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G lens. 

Real Beer

South St Seaport, New York, NY

We stopped here for a very light lunch, knowing that later in the afternoon, we'd have a much larger traditional NYC "Steakhouse" dinner.  I enjoy going to brewpubs and sampling their beers, but it was still a little early in the day for me to be sampling their entire line of beers so I only had a pint of their Red Rooster Ale.  They serve great burgers along with great beer.  I'll definitely go back.
