Description

A bohemian walk in the city

Dumbo, an acronym for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass, is a historic neighborhood of Brooklyn, formerly a manufacturing district, today, one of New York City's premier arts districts.

To enjoy some of the best parts of the neighborhood, walk on Washington Street and east on Water Street, for spectacular views of the Manhattan Bridge. If art is your thing, visit A.I.R. Gallery, and Klompching Gallery. Foodies may want to add to their guides legendary urban spots like Grimaldi's Pizzeria, The River Café, Jacques Torres Chocolate, the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory, and Superfine. The local classical music icon, the Bargemusic, is also a must see.
