I did not realise that Dumbo is an acronym for the area - Down Under Manhattan Bridge Overpass. This would fit in with other areas of Manhattan such as TriBeCa. It's a nicely restored area of Brooklyn and there are plenty of cobbled streets and old warehouses that have been restored for new purposes such as flats, restaurants and bars. It's definitely an area of Brooklyn that needs to be explored if you have not visited the city before. There are some amazing views of the surrounding area to admire as well as places to sit and relax after a day walking around.

Been to NY a few times and crossed the bridge once but never set foot in Brooklyn. Really enjoyed wondering around this cool, funky part of the world. Great views of the two bridges , lots of good bars and cafes and restaurants. Will sending be back to explore further

We love coming here when visiting NYC. We have walked the Brooklyn Bridge from the Financial District area. We have also taken the ferry from Manhattan. We have also taken the subway. It's a cute and trendy place where we can stroll peacefully, take pictures of Manhattan skyline, have a bite to eat, sit and relax. There is an amazing rooftop at Timeout Market. We have only visited during the day. We're looking forward to returning at night so that we can view the Manhattan skyline.

Great feel to the place. Got the ferry from pier 83 and had a wander around the area. Lovely shops and nice happy feel around the whole area. The skyline with the broklyn and Manhattan bridges In the background is awsome. Really great feel after the intense crowds of lower Manhattan day before

Dumbo is a trendy waterfront neighborhood in Brooklyn. It is known for its iconic Manhattan bridge view, as well as pebble beach and Brooklyn bridge park. It is home to many good restaurants as well as a great view of the NYC skyline. I highly recommend taking a trip to Dumbo.

We used the subway from Manhattan which was great. Some great photo opportunities. I would recommend arriving early as it can be busy. I have a YouTube channel @vickisworldtravel & I vlogged my experience & spent 10 days in this wonderful city.

Best views of Manhattan we have ever seen. Such a cool area. We walked around for a few hours and enjoyed ourselves. Best part was taking pictures of both the Manhattan Bridge and Brooklyn bridge around sunset. We felt quite safe, but realize - this place is crowded!

Great photos. Great atmosphere early and the Time Out roif top cafe is grest. But beware ice cream van overcharging on cards - gave a single but charged triple. Lesson of always taking a receipt.

This used to be a waterfront and warehouse industrial area, dominated by 2 bridges. The port functions are gone, but the waterfront is still here, now lined with beautiful park areas that draw lots of tourists. You see them exit the subway station and then walk downhill to the parks. You will find Jane's Carousel and some good places to eat and drink, plus some warehouses converted to other uses.
