DUMBO 🇺🇸 New York USA Walking Tour

Dumbo, or DUMBO, in New York is a neighbourhood in the Brooklyn borough. Dumbo is short for “Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass”, perfectly describing where this creative neighbourhood is located. Dumbo in Brooklyn is known for its many art galleries, coffee shops, and cobblestone streets. Brooklyn Bridge Park, Brooklyn Flea, and Washington Street can also be found here.
Dumbo used to be an industrial area. Back then it was known as Gairville, and this is now reflected in the many warehouses. In the late 1970s, Dumbo was cheap to live in and the spaces were large, so many artists moved to this area. Today, this is reflected in the many art galleries, but there are also many boutiques and bakeries in this neighbourhood in Brooklyn.
DUMBO is the perfect neighbourhood to walk around and explore. But there are also many things worth visiting when you are in this part of Brooklyn.
Washington Street is a well-known street in New York. From this street in DUMBO, the Empire State Building is perfectly framed by the pillar of the Manhattan Bridge. This is the spot to take the famous photo, you cannot take a more beautiful picture of the Manhattan Bridge!
On the waterfront of Dumbo in Brooklyn you’ll find Brooklyn Bridge Park. The park offers breathtaking views of Manhattan and is a perfect place for a picnic or walk. The park is also home to the old-fashioned merry-go-round Jane’s Carousel. This is not only fun for children, but adults can also take a ride.
On Sundays, Dumbo is extra fun to visit, because then the DUMBO Flea Market takes place. The flea market, which is part of the Brooklyn Flea, is one of the best flea markets in the US. The market takes place at the DUMBO Archway, under the Manhattan Bridge.
