Welcome to Dumbo

DUMBO is an acronym for District Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass, an affluent and trendy neighborhood in the New York City borough of Brooklyn. It is known for its stunning waterfront views of the Manhattan skyline, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the Manhattan Bridge. The area features a mix of converted industrial buildings, contemporary art galleries, upscale residential lofts, and a vibrant dining scene. The neighborhood is a major tourist destination, particularly for the iconic photo spot on Washington Street where the Manhattan Bridge perfectly frames the Empire State Building, a view heavily featured on social media.
 
Historically a manufacturing hub with industrial tenants like the Arbuckle Brothers coffee and sugar empire, DUMBO was later revitalized by artists who coined the name to deter developers. Today, it is a bustling, family-friendly area that provides access to Brooklyn Bridge Park and features local attractions such as the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory and the popular Jane's Carousel. Excellent transportation links, including a ferry stop, make it easily accessible for both locals and visitors.
