Y<\/span>ou\u2019ve heard it over and over, Brooklyn is the place to be in New York<\/strong>. But, with an approx. area of 70 mi 2, you may be wondering where exactly <\/em>is this\u00a0<\/em>place to be? Here are a few clues: Its initiation was D<\/strong>aring, it offers the U<\/strong>ltimate, its air is M<\/strong>agnetic, its art de vivre B<\/strong>lissful, and it inspires O<\/strong>bsession.\u00a0<\/strong>Got it?<\/h5>\n

For those who are not well versed in the art of decoding, then we'll give you another hint: it\u2019s D<\/strong>own U<\/strong>nder the M<\/strong>anhattan B<\/strong>ridge O<\/strong>verpass. That's where you'll find\u00a0DUMBO<\/strong>\u00a0(ahhh), a bite-sized industrial neighborhood on the East River Waterfront, the first stop off the bridge, that\u2019s developing into a paradise for the casual urbanite who enjoys the finer things in life.<\/p>\n

D<\/strong>\u00a0for Daring<\/h2>\n

Leave it to the\u00a0avant-garde artists who D<\/strong>ared\u00a0<\/strong>to rebrand this old shipping station and its 40 blocks of factories, warehouses, and dock storehouses. This project, first inspired by the bohemian spirit, was continued by visionary real estate developers, resulting in the perfect mix of Manhattan\u2019s sleek condos<\/a> and Brooklyn<\/a>\u2019s warm brownstones. We couldn\u2019t help but wonder if the luxury loft <\/strong>was invented in Dumbo<\/strong>, seeing as how the neighborhood has certainly perfected it.<\/p>\n

Even more, the expansive industrial spaces have been repurposed into chic studios, galleries, and theaters like\u00a0St. Ann\u2019s Warehouse<\/strong>, where we go to see the performing arts on nights we do not feel like getting dressed up to go to the Metropolitan Opera<\/strong>. Besides, where else can you enjoy your favorite band on a floating concert hall? For now, just Bargemusic in Dumbo.<\/p>\n

U<\/strong>\u00a0for Ultimate<\/h2>\n

Dumbo provides its goers with the U<\/strong>ltimate quality of life, in all senses. To live, the glassy riverfront high-rises <\/strong>are both modern and state-of-the-art, boasting some of the most beautiful views of Manhattan<\/a>\u2019s skyline<\/strong>. To shop, we love the mixture of high-end and independent shops and boutiques sprinkled throughout for high-quality artisanal goods. And to eat, you\u2019ll find restaurants along the promenade that are classy and upscale. Our favorite is the River Cafe<\/strong>, an unmissable dining experience on the famous Fulton Landing<\/strong>. You\u2019ll also notice long lines stretching out of the legendary Grimaldi\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0pizzeria, celebrated for its signature NY slice of unmatched quality. And finally, to satisfy the sweet tooth, only the creme de la creme: the sensational creations of Jacques Torres Chocolate Shop <\/strong>or Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory<\/strong>, which is set in a charming old lighthouse.<\/p>\n

M<\/strong>\u00a0for Magnetic<\/h2>\n

Not only that, also for M<\/strong>ovement, even M<\/strong>igration, as Dumbo\u2019s irresistible charm has attracted the most devoted Manhattanites, professionals from a diverse set of industries, families and singles who are looking for a slightly less hectic but just as exciting lifestyle.<\/p>\n

Dumbo has also become a significant tech hub<\/strong>, hosting more tech firms than any other neighborhood in New York<\/a>! From\u00a0start-ups and trendy coworking spaces<\/strong>\u00a0to colossal companies like Etsy<\/strong>, whose headquarters has taken over a 9-story warehouse in the Watchtower complex. By the way, the complex is also on its way to being developed into swanky offices and commercial space \u2026 we do promise tips.<\/p>\n
