Unfortunately it was an awful day weather wise when we went here. We looked around the flea market . There were some nice stalls. Not as many as usual I would imagine. I eould think this is a vibrant area when the weather is fine. Our bad luck.

It is a relatively renovated/transformed district. As a city planner , I did enjoyed to visit “DUMBO”( Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass). It was a joy for walking on the streets, discovering some interesting sculptures, breathing the atmosphere of the East River Bank, and witnessing some renovations. When you are in DUMBO, you can also find many cafes and restaurants to spend some time.

Started the day in dumbo, walked down to Washington street to see beautiful view of manhatten bridge with Empire State Building. Then onto pebble beach, great view of Brooklyn bridge, then breakfast at timeout market. Really good experience Then headed over the bridge walking into Manhattan

This place is really nice to visit, it has beautiful views and it's a great place to take some pictures, just know that it can get really crowded! When we went, it was quite crowded, but if you get a bit creative and don't go that into the crowd, you can get some really cool pics quickly. There's also some nice stalls and a flea market that were really nice to look around!

Dumbo is a neighbourhood of Brooklyn with a catchy name. It always makes me think of Dumbo the Elephant, but the neighbourhood is far from being a white elephant. Dumbo’s name is an acronym for ‘Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass’, and that’s exactly what Dumbo is… a riverside neighbourhood which seems to nestle under the high expanse of the Manhattan Bridge. And whilst the name itself is a kitschy acronym, the neighbourhood is actually far from kitschy, and is a pleasant spot to visit, particularly if you want to escape the hustle and bustle of Manhattan just across the river. The span of the bridge does give the creatively-oriented neighborhood much of its character, as do cobblestone streets and dramatic architecture left over from its industrial days. Instead of factories, today’s Dumbo features art galleries, independent bookshops, boutiques, bakeries and coffee shops, and the huge Time Out Center which is filled with cafes and restaurants. I always enjoy a visit to Dumbo. Many visitors approach it via a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, and that’s usually what I do. It’s a good starting point as you can wander around to Dumbo’s little park that nestles under the Manhattan Bridge - the Brooklyn Bridge Park. From this little park there’s great views of the Manhattan skyline, and you can incorporate the iconic Brooklyn Bridge and the Manhattan Bridge into your photographs. Many visitors to Dumbo also like to capture one of the neighbourhood’s instagrammable shots. Stand in Washington Street (along with the hordes of people doing the same thing), and you’ll get a wonderful shot of one of the pylons of the Manhattan Bridge, with the Empire State Building showing between the pylons. It requires a good zoom and a bit of patience… the shot is actually better if you move up the rise in the street a little. The Time Out Market is full of cafes and restaurants; there are also relatively clean bathroom facilities there. Outside the Time Out Market building, facing the river, is a large heart shape, so another instagrammable spot for an iconic photo with the Manhattan skyline in the background. I always incorporate a walk across the Manhattan Bridge when visiting Dumbo. I think the view of the Manhattan skyline from the Manhattan Bridge is far superior to those you get from the Brooklyn Bridge, as your views incorporate a much wider perspective of the skyline, and also incorporate the iconic Brooklyn Bridge. You’ll need to walk up Washington Street away from the river front, then follow the signs to the steps that lead you onto the Manhattan Bridge. It’s a bit of a walk, but not difficult to find. Stay on the left side of the bridge (facing Manhattan) for the best views. You’ll end up in Chinatown once you have crossed the bridge. Whilst not New York City’s most vibrant, or iconic, or most thrilling neighbourhood, it gives you a different perspective of the city and is a pleasant area for coffee or a bite to eat. It's also away from the frenzy that can be Manhattan. Enjoy your visit.

This was a part of New York that I was desperate to visit due to my loving of anything Disney related . I hastily crossed the Brooklyn bridge and headed to this area , exited wasn’t the word . I looked left , right , up and down . Nope ! not one flying elephant in sight . I searched the whole area which is down under the Manhattan bridge overpass to find the elephant from my childhood but sadly it wasn’t to be . Nice area though .

There is so much to do in this area. Good restaurants, beautiful views along the river and when walking across the bridges. Parking can be a problem, but we drove into Dumbo early and found parking in a garage on Furman. $50 for 6 hours but it was a secure place and close to everything.

It's become quite a tourist draw with the completion of the beautiful Brooklyn Bridge Park along the harbor. The park is spectacular. But you will also find the Time Out Market with a good collection of food stalls and lots of fancy apartment buildings. The bridges overhead are impressive.

If you are heading to Brooklyn, don't forget to check out DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass). This historic area has plenty of shops, thriving art galleries, unique eats, and phenomenal architecture. There is something fantastic to experience around every corner of this New York City destination.

Many shops and photogenic streets. The Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges are really close. There's rollerblading and other sports area by the pier. Nice view of downtown Manhattan. Good photo spots for the Brooklyn bridge. The statue of liberty is briefly visible.
