    Great place to wander around before crossing the Brooklyn bridge. Extraordinary view of Manhattan, and the bridge from below.

    Another Millenial Demolition

    Before it was known as DUMBO (not Dumbo) it was a cool place, but the millenials have ruined it. Then again, if you are a millenial, you'll probably love it.

    Wish I had more time to explore this area!!!

    Fascinating visit here- sit and watch the world go by - check out the view before you, see the bridges up close or shop in style.

    Nice area in transition. Clearing becoming more "in" as microbrew pubs are popping up. Some sketchy areas but its a big city. Nice evening walk.

    I'm sure there are healthy options. But all good things can be done in moderation. Enjoy Atrium in Dumbo. The food was fabulous, the general manager was so warm and hospitable.

    If you walk over the bridge you follow it to your left down some steps then left at the bottom of the steps and keep going straight on you will soon see it
