Water Street
Claimed to be one of North America's oldest commercial streets, running along the harbor and lined with restaurants, cafés and local craft shops.
Water Street has been a place where fish merchants and sailors traded since the 16th century. Most of the surviving buildings are Victorian-style storefronts rebuilt after the Great Fire of 1892. In summer, some sections become pedestrian-only and fill with outdoor seating. It is a great place to browse local handicrafts, wool knitwear and seafood restaurants, and it connects with George Street and the harbor boardwalk.
