Cannons Walk holds a special place in my heart, and I have cherished its natural vibe since my middle school years back at Spruce Street School, which is conveniently located nearby. This hidden gem in downtown Manhattan's NYC Seaport area beautifully combines the allure of nature with its rich historical aspects. As I walk along the well-preserved pathways, I can't help but marvel at the fascinating blend of old and new. The historical significance of Cannons Walk is palpable, reminding me of the area's maritime past and the bustling activity that once thrived here. The towering buildings juxtaposed with the serene waterfront create a captivating ambiance that truly captures the essence of this vibrant city. Cannons Walk is more than just a tranquil escape; it's a living testament to the rich heritage and ever-evolving spirit of downtown Manhattan. I feel incredibly fortunate to have grown up near this remarkable place and will continue to cherish every visit, creating new memories while honoring its historical roots.

This hidden alleyway in the midst of the seaport is worth visiting. Especially when they adorn the space with tables and chairs, making it a perfect place for having a picnic or reading a book. If you do visit, please respect the antiquity of this throwback in time and carry out any garbage or items you carry into the space.

A New York City hidden charm. You can gain access to this unique alleyway from different street entrances in plain site. From a busy Fulton street area to a quiet, peaceful place to gather one's thoughts, eat lunch, or get away from the crowds.

Lamentablemente este lugar esta abandonado y dentro las áreas clausuradas. Fue muy decepcionante llegar y ver lugar en un estado deplorable.

Historical landmark might be a little generous; it's a hallway. It's cool, but don't go out of your way to check it out.

Good spot to take a quick break and use the public bathrooms, but nothing special

A historical spot to relax and get away from the busy city.

Best public bathrooms in the city! seriously though!! …

Really cool hidden walkway I love showing people

a very cute hidden secret in seaport!
