Area description:
From Timeout magazine, New York Edition, January 2007
Based on the following description, try to guess where this monument to neoyuppie residential
extravagance is being
built: A 52-story building features a lobby lounge with ’70s-style living-room pit, cocktail service
and a billiards table; a
private screening room and nightclub with “cinema beds” for four; a heated “co-ed” lap pool,
basketball courts and
gym; a covered outdoor dog park; and a year-round outdoor mineral jacuzzi.
South Beach? The O.C.?
Nope. Try Hanover Street, about a cigarette flick from the 103-year-old New York Stock Exchange.
The William Beaver House, as it’s called, is just one of the big-bucks residential construction
projects sprouting up in
Manhattan’s least hip ’hood for living—the wedge of land defined by the Seaport, the Financial
District and everything
east of Broadway. In other words, downtown.
Of course, you know all about the resurgence of downtown. Since 9/11, you probably feel like you’ve
heard nothing
but stories about downtown—the Freedom Tower, condo development, the future Fulton Street subway
hub. Until
now, it’s been mostly a story of potential and promises, but with the first crop of these
developments finally ready for
occupancy, downtown is poised to be the neighborhood to call your broker about in 2007.
Row houses where fishmongers calculated their daily catches now sport shiny, happy apartments atop
glass-fronted
cafés, close to parks and a stunning waterfront.
The neighborhood amenities, all easy to get to, since nearly every subway stops downtown, have also
blossomed.
Historic Stone Street is rocking with new cafés and bars that remain open after hours for the crowd
that stays late and
walks home. Young couples with baby strollers and dogs make their presence felt on weekends; wine
bars and clubs
featuring alt bands are converting street dread into street cred at night. And now that
infrastructure improvements —
which once turned many of downtown’s sinuous, shadowy blocks into a labyrinthine nightmare — are
moving along,
look for a spring awakening of local services and retail outlets, to add to the already-useful
Century 21 and J&R.
The area’s cultural and entertainment offerings are taking off as well. You probably last visited the
South Street
Seaport six years ago when your annoying aunt came to town demanding to “see the sights.” Well, it’s
time to go
back, and you can leave the knowing local’s smirk at home: The Seaport went to a massive overhaul. It
features more
shops geared toward locals and tourists, expanding into two buildings formerly occupied by the Fulton
Fish Market.
Schermerhorn Row, along the Seaport’s southern flank, which used to be home to the low-rent,
maritime-focused
offices that Herman Melville immortalized in “Bartleby, the Scrivener,” is now a series of galleries
and shops connected
to the South Street Seaport Museum. And South Street may soon become home to Soho’s Drawing Center.
Next door, life along Front Street—where until a few years ago brick-fronted, five-story row houses
were allowed to
stand as crumbling shells—is showing renewed vital signs after an ambitious redevelopment plan. A
high-end sushi
restaurant, Suteishi, has opened there, as well as Fresh Salt, a relaxed bar and seafood spot around
the corner on
Beekman Street. And all over, 19th-century standbys such as Bridge Café, on Water Street, Harbour
Café, on Peck
Slip, and Delmonico’s, on Beaver Street, are being discovered for the first time in the 21st century.
Join the crowd.
Steps to the subway station - access to 7 different lines. Minutes from all attractions.
