Bitches Who BrunchFebruary 3, 2016The Bitches say: B-. Fresh Salt is a good neighborhood spot downtown. Both the fare and ambiance are comfortable and straightforward, but sometimes a low key brunch is all you crave on a weekend! Read more
Michelle CMay 30, 2016Went on a Sunday and there was no table service for dinner, which sucked. However the food was delicious and affordable. Definitely upgrade from salad to mac and cheese if you get a sandwich.
Alex PreeferMay 21, 2017Great atmosphere, on the less expensive side, fast service, and good food - had eggs with thick cut bacon. Tucked away in Fidi, will go again for lunch and drinks!- Beth KApril 17, 2015This hidden gem in south st sea port is perfect for happy hr specials. Its quiet and perfect for convos and catching up. Indoor and outdoor seating available
Steven GruberSeptember 1, 2014Get the S(peck) A(vocado) L(ettuce) T(omato) sandwich. Splurge on the Mac & Cheese side for $3 and ask for Cholula sauce
the lox entree is amazing. the service is good and the ambience is friendly and casual. Rita is amazing. the only disappointing item is the mimosa - not worth the price. Get the bloody Mary instead.
One of the best low-key late night spots in the city. Great music and friendly bartenders
Fabulous place!! Great bar snacks, great atmosphere. Had an amazing tea and absinthe drink here!
Nikki HillierOctober 14, 2021They have a good happy hour with $6 wines and wells. The food is really simple, but delicious.
SS+K's Guide to Downtown NYMarch 21, 2012Long-time SS+K happy hour spot with a down-to-earth "locals" feel. Don't overlook the food; try the hummus plate and the turkey/brie sandwich.
Rumman HossainMarch 29, 2013Great to see businesses start to open again down here. Sandy really washed away everything. Order the SALT sandwich and sit outside, nice street view.
Kaye MercerJanuary 6, 2019Bloody Mary’s are great, so it the hot apple cider, mimosa of the day and the SALT sandwich
Jade RolandSeptember 25, 2016Nice low-key brunch with a friendly wait staff and good food. Would come back again!!- Beth KAugust 6, 2015Good vibes, good for chill conversation and a drink after spending the day around south st seaport.
Can't go wrong with the SALT sandwich. Love that this place has retained its normalcy in the middle of the Seaport craze.
Shams AhmadSeptember 24, 2012Great brunch spot... Def try the omelette of the day, which comes with some awesome challah bread and a drink for just $12!

Nikki 🌺February 2, 2013Gigantic bloody Mary's! Try the lox on ciabatta with tomatoes and capers Mmm.
Great local bar for downtown ny'ers devoid of suits or tourists. Also an underrated lunch spot.
Rita GarciaAugust 19, 2016I like the bar but it was a little loud when I went. The 3 dudes talking really loudly at the bar was not pleasant. Drinks were decent.
Leslie is amazing. Ask her to make HER version of a margarita. You won't be disappointed.
Wifi password: buymanydrinks. Genius, just like everything at this classic #seaportliving watering hole.
Daniel LatorreJanuary 3, 2013Hang w/ friends when Leslie tends the bar, she takes tips via Square and plays Little Dragon.
Leonardo SaraceniMay 26, 2013Fresh lime juice and homemade sweet & sour mix for margaritas, only $4 from 4-8pm!

Diana SJanuary 2, 2012love this cozy little spot for a drink or wknd brunch. Ask for Larissa, she'll treat you very well.
Delicious eggplant sandwich + a side salad to go for $10? I will do this every day.
