DUMBONamed for the bridge that passes over the neighborhood, D.U.M.B.O. (Down Under Manhattan Bridge Overpass) offers a highly-refined waterfront-industrial lifestyle. Former heavy-industry buildings have been renovated into luxury high-rises with spectacular views of Manhattan and the East River bridges. Cobblestone streets that once carried freight trains on still-exposed tracks are now lined with cafes and boutiques. For all this luxury, more modest townhouses and functional waterfront buildings can be found a few blocks north of the neighborhood's core. Access to Manhattan is easy via the F train, and observant retailers and restaurateurs have pushed north and south of the namesake bridge to serve the neighborhood’s growing affluent population as well as the many visitors who enjoy the neighborhood’s waterfront parks, bookshops, coffeehouses, and art galleries. New construction marches on. |
