"When the lunch hour hits DUMBO, just follow the crowds (and the wafting smell of tacos, Thai noodles, and burgers) to the DUMBO Lot on the corner of Jay and Water streets. Every day, 3-4 different food trucks park in this empty lot to serve a variety of worldly foods. Each truck has designated days, so be sure to check out the Twitter page @DUMBOFoodTrucks to know which trucks will be making their appearance. Also, wave "hi" to the camera because you can also view Datalot's live webcam of the lot at www.datalot.com/dumbo-food-truck-cam." - Column Five
"Of the various abbreviations for different neighborhoods in New York, DUMBO wins the prize for cutest: It stands for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass. It is a little off the beaten path, though you may find yourself here if you have strolled over the Brooklyn Bridge from Manhattan, or were just touring Brooklyn Heights and kept walking north. Its streets offer some iconic images, with the piers of the Manhattan Bridge looming at the end of streets lined with 19th-century warehouses. It is also home to St. Ann's Warehouse ( 45 Water St. ), one of the city's most innovative theater venues, and a number of restaurants and bars. If you are exploring with kids in tow, you may want to stop at Jane's Carousel, a restored 1922 merry-go-round in a pavilion designed by French architect Jean Nouvel in Brooklyn Bridge Park. Afterward, stop at Jacques Torres Chocolate ( 66 Water St. ) for a cup of his signature hot chocolate."
"Doherty also owns Flatiron restaurant Black Barn, and the Zeffs have a Blackbarn design shop in Dumbo." - Serena Dai
