Photoville is an annual photo festival that pops up in multiple locations throughout New York City, but is one of the most exciting things to do in DUMBO. The garden is open to the public during the same time as Brooklyn Bridge Park, and the theater produces programming year-round. The new 25,000-square-feet theater space was built within the footprint of the warehouse, with space leftover for an open-air garden bordered by the historic brick walls. Ann’s Warehouse, an avant-garde arts organization known for its plays, music and spoken word performances, was formerly housed in a Brooklyn Heights Gothic church.
Formerly a 19th-century tobacco warehouse, Marvel Architects transformed the roofless relic of DUMBO’s industrial past into a state-of-the-art performing arts theater. Ann’s Warehouse stood as an urban ruin on Brooklyn’s waterfront. Ann’s WarehouseĮnjoying my first live music concert since COVID!

Today, the neighborhood boasts beautiful historic architecture, vibrant cultural destinations, quirky hidden gems, and scenic river views. In the 19th-century, the luxury apartments that now line DUMBO’s streets were once factories where goods like paint, coffee, and beer were produced, and warehouses,where goods imported from around the world were stored once collected from boats on the East River. DUMBO is an acronym for “Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass,” and this stretch of land along Brooklyn’s northwest coast was once a booming center of industry. "Superfine" is my personal favorite restaurant in DUMBO with a rotating menu based on what can be purchased locally and in season.The stunning views of both the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges are DUMBO‘s biggest most popular attraction, but there is so much more to discover in this waterfront neighborhood. There are some amazing cafes, coffee shops, chocolate boutiques, and restaurants in this hip Brooklyn neighborhood. I would recommend having dinner and drinks in DUMBO. On the contrary I would not recommend walking across the Manhattan Street Bridge due to the noisy train and a lack of good lighting, but if you want to get off the beaten track then this is also an option for great views of the city and to see the Brooklyn bridge from afar. And you'll have a great view of Brooklyn to one side and an amazing view of Manhattan on the other side. Be sure to watch out for bicyclists and stay in the walking lane. You'll see Japanese and Korean tourists with their giant SLR cameras (I'm one to talk)! You'll see couples taking self portraits of themselves. You'll hear 20 different languages from the groups of tourists coming to see the bridge. I thoroughly enjoy the walk across this iconic landmark every time I'm in NYC, but to walk across at dusk and see the sunset over New York City is amazing every time! When you are on the bridge you'll see the locals running and walking. If I'm staying in Brooklyn then I like to walk over to Manhattan. If I'm staying in Manhattan then I like to walk across to DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass). Come fall, the bridge promenade will be pedestrian-only so you won’t need to worry about cyclists ringing their bells furiously at you, thanks to a new dedicated bike lane on the Manhattan-bound side.Ī walk across the Brooklyn Bridge is something I like to do on every single visit to the "Big Apple". A stroll across the 6,016-foot-long bridge is a quintessential New York experience, taking you from near City Hall on the Manhattan side to Brooklyn Heights, a neighborhood of tree-lined streets and elegant, 19th-century town houses that have been lovingly preserved and restored. The bridge connected what were then two different cities-the five boroughs of New York would not be united into one city until 15 years later, in 1898. While Walt Whitman was left in awe by the bridge, his famous poem, "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry," was actually written during its construction. Brooklyn BridgeCompleted in 1883, the Brooklyn Bridge is an engineering wonder and an architectural one as well, a masterpiece of design that has inspired acclaimed poets (Hart Crane, Marianne Moore), writers (Jack Kerouac), and painters (Joseph Stella).
