What to eat, drink, and do in DUMBO

Whether you arrive in DUMBO by foot, ferry, or the A,C, or F subway lines, you'll find yourself in one of New York City's most desirable neighborhoods.

DUMBO, which stands for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass, is known for its spectacular views of Manhattan, world-class waterfront park, thriving art and food scenes, and what may be NYC’s most Instagrammable hot spot: the intersection of Washington Street and Water Street with the Manhattan Bridge in the background.

This section of Brooklyn, however, was not always as charming as it is now. Prior to becoming a tourist destination, the neighborhood was an industrial hub. The historic buildings that now house loft apartments and art galleries were factories that produced everything from cardboard boxes to Brillo pads during their manufacturing heyday in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries (both of which were actually invented in DUMBO). Manufacturing slowed after the Great Depression, and the area didn’t recover until the 1970s, when a wave of artists moved in, inspiring developers to reconsider the East River-adjacent neighborhood.

Today, the pioneering spirit lives on in various forms. Not only did one of Brooklyn’s most ambitious waterfront revitalizations take place here, but DUMBO has also become a magnet for tech startups, most notably Etsy, which is headquartered at the former Watertower printing site. With it came a flurry of other developments, resulting in the history-meets-modern-day character that distinguishes this thriving area. It now also houses multiplex Empire Stores, which has its own food hall (Time Out Market), as well as a SoHo House (aka DUMBO House).

Walk the Brooklyn Bridge

Washington Street (2 blocks from Front street)

The Brooklyn Bridge connects Manhattan and Brooklyn, and you can walk it, drive it, bike it, or admire it from afar from multiple vantage points around the city.

One way or the other, the Brooklyn Bridge is a must-see when traveling to Brooklyn. It’s not just an enjoyable experience for tourists; many born-and-bred New Yorkers find themselves still charmed by the bridge. There’s even a dedicated pedestrian walkway on the Brooklyn Bridge, above the roaring car traffic, so it’s a wonderful stroll

The DUMBO entrance is a stairway in the underpass located on Washington Street, 2 blocks from Front Street where the famous DUMBO Instagram photo is. There is a stairway in the underpass that is the entrance leading directly to the Brooklyn Bridge Pedestrian Walkway.
