DUMBO’s Belgian-blocked streets are abuzz! Brooklyn’s “Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass”, or DUMBO, neighborhood has emerged as a premier place to live, work and create in New York City. At one time a prominent manufacturing hub consisting of factories, warehouses, and dock storehouses, today, DUMBO’s industrial structures have been preserved or converted to luxury loft apartments, condos, high-tech offices, art galleries, performance space, boutiques, and unique restaurants, cafes, and bars. DUMBO has staked its claim as a leading innovation center, with artisans, techies, and creative types all vying to locate here. With many framed views of Manhattan’s skyline provided by the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges, residents and visitors can enjoy a fresh perspective (as well as green space, attractions and amenities) at the Brooklyn Bridge Park found along the East River waterfront. DUMBO is a can’t miss!
