About
Punk lifer Jeff Rosenstock sold out his first Rooftop at Pier 17 night, so a second skyline show was added to the Seaport's open-air stage.
Jeff Rosenstock's shows are sweaty, shout-along affairs, and the Rooftop at Pier 17 puts that energy under open sky with the Brooklyn Bridge behind the stage. The first night sold out fast enough that a second was added, which says plenty about the demand. If you have been looking up the Pier 17 concert schedule for a reason to go, this is a strong one.
What to expect
Doors open an hour before showtime and the rooftop fills with a general-admission crowd facing the stage and the East River skyline. Shows run rain or shine and wrap by the venue's curfew. Bars and concessions ring the rooftop, and the Seaport's restaurants sit just downstairs.
Good to know
- Take the 2 or 3 train to Fulton St, or the A or C to Broadway-Nassau, and walk to the Seaport.
- The first night is sold out; the added date is the one to try for.
- It is fully outdoors and rain or shine, so check the forecast and bring a rain layer.
- No re-entry, so eat at the Seaport restaurants before you head up.
- Tickets are sold through AXS and the Pier 17 box office.
