Dumbo

Picturesque neighborhood with the best view of Manhattan Bridge. It's so nice to walk in the neighborhood and enjoy the views and architecture.

The Manhattan Bridge view gets very busy as everyone walks around and wants to capture the best shots, but it's worth the crowds and wait.

You can also buy souvenirs at a cheaper price here.

Walk over the Brooklyn Bridge and you will be in the trendy section of Dumbo ( Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass) with its cobblestone streets, great little restaurants, and some really cool shops. Beautiful views of the Manhattan Skyline. This historic area was once industrial and has transformed into a vibrant community with trendy boutiques, art galleries, cafes, and parks.

Saturday and Sunday from 10-5 there's a nice outdoor market. If you don't want to walk the bridge it's easily accessible by Subway.

We visited friends who live in New York, and absolutely stopped in our tracks when we saw the iconic view of the Manhattan Bridge in the DUMBO district.

If you're not familiar, this view was seen on the cover of Once Upon a Time in America, was featured in the film Joker, and is just all around one of the most iconic and photo-worthy street corners in the city/country.

If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and make a quick stop here to stand in the shadow of the Manhattan Bridge and get your own DUMBO photo to remember the experience!

Iconic and must visit, whether you're a tourist or a local. It's not the best place to get pictures in for yourself but it's just an iconic photo spot. After taking a photo, walk over to the merry-go-round! It's an easy walk and a great way to relax and hangout. Definitely check out Time Out Market too! Some of the best restaurants in NYC are in here. It'll definitely be crowded but there are so many options with so many cuisines and they're pretty fast so the food comes out quick. You can also go upstairs to the rooftop to hang out and just enjoy another view.

Down over the Manhattan Bridge overpass has some incredible views of the waterfront, Manhattan skyline, and Manhattan Bridge.

Just a quick 20 min walk over the bridge, ferry ride, or drive across (less fun/aesthetic), you'll find all the shops, coffee spots, bars, restaurants, and even a merry go round along the walkway.

While here, I'd recommend checking out Timeout Market and grabbing a drink at their outdoor rooftop bar overlooking the Brooklyn bridge at night. Be sure to give yourself a few hours to actually explore the neighborhood and all that it has to offer.

What is there not to like about Dumbo?!?!

Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass (or "organization" it depends on who you ask), is one of Brooklyn's most visited neighborhoods. DUMBO neighborhood which lies between the Brooklyn Bridge and the Manhattan Bridges encompasses so much NYC culture including guided walking tours, Brooklyn Bridge Park (great place to have a summer night picnic), a carousel, skating rink, NY waterway ferry, cobblestone streets, and great food. I can't forget those iconic views of the Downtown Manhattan skyline.

Yes DUMBO has become a tourists attraction and that's because right here, you can get the best of NYC.

A must visit neighborhood in NYC. It stands for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass.

I visit this spot often when visiting NYC since I have a friend that lives in this neighborhood.

There is a great area to take pictures with the Manhattan or Brooklyn bridge in the background and you can easily get to the Brooklyn bridge by foot here.

Peddle beach is such a cute spot with a carousal.
Plenty of nice restaurants with views of the Hudson.

Might as well stop by Time our Market while you are here!

Down under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass is a beautiful spot to see both the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges, with gorgeous views of the waterfront (East River) and the skyline of Manhattan. There is a park and the 1922 restored carousel which you can ride on for $2.
Take a stroll along the waterfront and you can see the Statue of Liberty. The park and entire area is exceptionally clean and well kept and offers spectacular views in any direction.
There are many restaurants all around, including the Time Out Market, which is a destination itself. There are shops, galleries and cobblestone streets rich with history and surrounded by architectural marvels. Makes for a wonderful day out!

Did you know DUMBO's short for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass?

Cute photo-op spot with a great angle of the Manhattan Bridge! I love the cobblestone streets in the neighborhood. Lots of vehicles pass through this road, so try to not get run over :)

This is an iconic photo opportunity surrounded by some neat park areas, a great walkway, and some cool shops/restaurants. There are a lot of people in the area and with that brings a lot of unknowns. When we were there the crowd was chilled out and respectful.
They have elevated blocks form you to stand or pose on. After you take some pictures go towards the bridge and take a left. You will be near some great green spaces and sidewalks. We walked down and got some delicious ice cream. Definitely worth at least one visit.
