Breathtaking views of the Brooklyn Bridge and Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s seafood-centric cooking are reason enough to head to the end of Pier 17 in the Seaport District. The world-renowned chef wows patrons with warm octopus astride fresh mozzarella, fish stew thickened with aioli, and plump Bouchot mussels steamed in lemongrass, chilis and Thai basil. The splashy, bi-level space is huge, decked out in a modern, nautical design and with lots of windows plus an outside patio.
