You can also soak up some sun at Brooklyn Bridge Park while enjoying takeout from Bread & Spread, a popular Italian sandwich spot, or The Migrant Kitchen, an immigrant-run catering company that serves Middle Eastern-Latin fare. For a non-brunch afternoon meal, try Kogane Ramen, where the noodles are made fresh daily. Vinegar Hill House is another local gem, with seasonal takes on classics like pancakes and quiche. Head to Westville for casual American fare, Clark’s Restaurant for traditional diner food or Bluestone Lane for avocado toast, flat whites, and other Australian favorites. The neighborhood is just as well known for its brunch scene as its pizza rivalry.
Em Vietnamese | Photo by Cole Saladino for ThrillistĪny culinary tour of Brooklyn must include pizza and DUMBO is home to not one, but two New York institutions: Grimaldi’s and Juliana’s, both founded by legendary pizza maker Pasquale "Patsy" Grimaldi (the latter is still associated the Grimaldi family). To wit, it's also now home to multiplex Empire Stores which features its own food hall (Time Out Market), and even a SoHo House (aka DUMBO House).įor your next Brooklyn adventure, here’s where to eat, drink, and stay in DUMBO. With that came a wave of other developments, resulting in the history-meets-modern-day character that makes this thriving area so unique. Not only did one of Brooklyn’s most ambitious waterfront revitalizations happen here, but DUMBO has become the neighborhood of choice for tech start-ups-most notably, Etsy is headquartered at the former Watertower printing site. Today, the pioneering spirit lives on in different ways. Manufacturing slowed down post-Depression and the area didn’t pick up again until the 1970s, when a wave of artists moved in, inspiring developers to take a second look at the East River-adjacent neighborhood. In their manufacturing heyday during the 19th and 20th centuries, the historic buildings that now house loft apartments and art galleries were factories that produced everything from cardboard boxes to Brillo pads (both of which were actually invented in DUMBO). Prior to becoming the tourist attraction it is today, the neighborhood served as an industrial hub. However, this stretch of Brooklyn was not always as charming as it is now. Short for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass, DUMBO is known for its breathtaking views of Manhattan, world-class waterfront park, flourishing art and food scenes, and what might possibly be NYC’s most Instagrammable hot spot: the intersection of Washington Street and Water Street with the Manhattan Bridge in the background. No matter how you arrive in DUMBO-by foot, ferry, or the A,C, or F subway lines-you’ll land in one of NYC’s most attractive neighborhoods.
