Dumbo, short for \u201cd<\/strong>own u<\/strong>nder the M<\/strong>anhattan B<\/strong>ridge o<\/strong>verpass,\u201d is one of the hippest and most exciting neighborhoods in NYC right now. It\u2019s an area full of brownstones, a gorgeous riverfront park, boutique hotels, art galleries, restaurants, and shops. Plus, the views of Manhattan from Dumbo, at the foot of the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges, are incomparable. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

All of this makes it even harder to believe that Dumbo used to be both a ferry landing and a warehouse district and was far from exciting. If you had told a New Yorker ten years ago that Dumbo was a neighborhood that would undergo such an extreme transformation, they might not have believed you. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A day in Dumbo is a great day out, and we have the low-down on what to see and where to go.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201dBrooklyn Bridge Park has 6 piers you can visit depending on your favorite activities,\u201d says Becky Moore from Global Grasshopper<\/a>: \u201dPier 1 with the best panoramic view of Manhattan, Pier 2 with loads of physical activity equipment and games, Pier 3 with vast amounts of greenery for nature lovers, Pier 4 with the beach, Pier 5 with soccer fields and a fishing station, and Pier 6 with volleyball courts, playgrounds, and Governors Island Ferry.\u201c<\/p>\r\n
