Quick Details
Dumbo: The New Brooklyn Tour Highlights
You’ve heard about all the cool things happening in Brooklyn — now get a chance to experience them firsthand. The neighborhood known as Dumbo is Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass, and it’s where artists and innovators are making their mark. Don’t miss the best views in the entire city as we stroll along old cobblestone streets, visit local creators in their workspaces, and duck into historic warehouses that have been converted into the latest hotspot that combines food, drink, shopping, art, history, and creative energy. With exclusive access and hands-on experiences curated by Urban Adventures and The New York Times, see how the city is reinventing itself through the eyes of a local guide.
- Take the ferry to Brooklyn, just like a local, and marvel at the Brooklyn Bridge as we sail right underneath the bridge.
