Street South
What can "South Street Seaport" mean in a poker game?
Hi! I'm a Japanese woman, studying English.
In the CSI NY ep. 208, guys are playing a poker, and one of them folds the game saying "South Street Seaport". Why does he say so, instead of just "fold"? What does he mean by that?
I'd appreciate it if somebody answers my question!
Thank you!

South Street SeaportSouth Street Seaport is a historic area of New York City, located where Fulton Street meets the East River, and adjacent to the Financial District. The Seaport is usually considered a historical district, distinct from the neighboring Financial District. It features some of the oldest architecture in downtown Manhattan. This includes renovated original mercantile buildings from the early 19th century, renovated sailing ships, the former Fulton Fish Market, and modern tourist malls featuring food, shopping and nightlife, with a view of Brooklyn Bridge.
South Street Seaport Museum was founded in 1967 by Peter and Norma Stanford. When originally opened as a museum the focus of the Seaport Museum conservation was to be an educational historic site, with "shops" mostly operating as reproductions of working environments found during the Seaport's heyday — 1820 to 1860.
