South Street Seaport’s effort to transform itself from a rowdy tourist destination to an actual hot spot will continue this month with the planned opening at Pier 17 of a new eatery by Michelin-rated chef Andrew Carmellini.

The chef behind Locanda Verde in Robert de Niro’s Greenwich Hotel is gearing up to open Italian chop shop Carne Mare on June 10 — the latest in a series of high-end eateries to take over the casual dining and fast-food restaurants that once dominated the downtown Manhattan Pier. Think Florentine steak, spicy lobster spaghetti and salt-baked sea bass wrapped in fig leaves served tableside and finished with fermented chili and dandelion dressing.
