Get to know dumbo:

Dumbo, an acronym for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass, is one of Brooklyn's most visited neighborhoods, attracting visitors with its cobblestone streets, dramatic architecture, great dining and dreamy views across the river. Converted Brooklyn warehouse buildings are the backdrop for independent boutiques, high-end restaurants and trendy cafes.

What to do?

take a stroll at the brooklyn bridge park

The appealing coastal attraction comprises a series of piers filled with recreational facilities, gardens, playgrounds, greenways and grassy areas for hanging out. Pier 2 holds basketball and pickleball courts as well as an in-line skating rink. A sandy "beach" serves as a (nonmotorized) boat launch at Pier 4. You'll find kid-friendly play areas at both ends (and some in between); the ones at Pier 6 include swings, slides, a giant sandbox and a water feature. Explore all the activities the park has to offer.
