The Place to Be
Where to start
Depending on your interests and tastes, a visit to Dumbo can land you just about anywhere. We’re talking atop a carved horse on Jane’s Carousel, watching an avant-garde masterpiece at St. Ann’s Warehouse, grabbing a thin-crust slice of heaven at Timeout Market, or picnicking on a quiet corner of Brooklyn Bridge Park.
At the epicenter of the neighborhood, Empire Stores is hard to miss. Swing by to catch top-notch live music, sip a signature Negroni at Cecconi’s, and enjoy a pre- or post-shopping bite at the Time Out Market food hall or one of the many fine-dining establishments.
And while you’re here, don’t miss the rooftop garden for the awe-inspiring view of the New York Harbor and Manhattan skyline. Wherever you find yourself, you can bet that this destination will not disappoint.
