![]() Need a pick-me-up? Find strong, well-made coffee at the sleek, minimalist Japanese import Arabica or the La Colombe-brewing Archway Cafe. You can also soak up some sun at Brooklyn Bridge Park while enjoying takeout from Bread & Spread, a popular Italian sandwich spot, or The Migrant Kitchen, an immigrant-run catering company that serves Middle Eastern-Latin fare. For a non-brunch afternoon meal, try Kogane Ramen, where the noodles are made fresh daily. Vinegar Hill House is another local gem, with seasonal takes on classics like pancakes and quiche. Head to Westville for casual American fare, Clark’s Restaurant for traditional diner food or Bluestone Lane for avocado toast, flat whites, and other Australian favorites. The neighborhood is just as well known for its brunch scene as its pizza rivalry. Em Vietnamese | Photo by Cole Saladino for ThrillistĪny culinary tour of Brooklyn must include pizza and DUMBO is home to not one, but two New York institutions: Grimaldi’s and Juliana’s, both founded by legendary pizza maker Pasquale "Patsy" Grimaldi (the latter is still associated the Grimaldi family). ![]() To wit, it's also now home to multiplex Empire Stores which features its own food hall (Time Out Market), and even a SoHo House (aka DUMBO House).įor your next Brooklyn adventure, here’s where to eat, drink, and stay in DUMBO. With that came a wave of other developments, resulting in the history-meets-modern-day character that makes this thriving area so unique. Not only did one of Brooklyn’s most ambitious waterfront revitalizations happen here, but DUMBO has become the neighborhood of choice for tech start-ups-most notably, Etsy is headquartered at the former Watertower printing site. Today, the pioneering spirit lives on in different ways. Manufacturing slowed down post-Depression and the area didn’t pick up again until the 1970s, when a wave of artists moved in, inspiring developers to take a second look at the East River-adjacent neighborhood. In their manufacturing heyday during the 19th and 20th centuries, the historic buildings that now house loft apartments and art galleries were factories that produced everything from cardboard boxes to Brillo pads (both of which were actually invented in DUMBO). Prior to becoming the tourist attraction it is today, the neighborhood served as an industrial hub. However, this stretch of Brooklyn was not always as charming as it is now. Short for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass, DUMBO is known for its breathtaking views of Manhattan, world-class waterfront park, flourishing art and food scenes, and what might possibly be NYC’s most Instagrammable hot spot: the intersection of Washington Street and Water Street with the Manhattan Bridge in the background. At least there’s a Shake Shack nearby this time in case you leave hungry.No matter how you arrive in DUMBO-by foot, ferry, or the A,C, or F subway lines-you’ll land in one of NYC’s most attractive neighborhoods. ![]() Noma is taking over a space located at 26 Bridge Street in Dumbo, which is being remodeled to “honor the minimalist, contemporary aesthetic” of its Copenhagen location.Īnd the $700 ticket is kind of a deal (admittedly, we’re using that term lightly.) The last time Noma brought its menu to New York, tickets topped out at $2,000. The menu will be a “multi-course tasting menu of classic Noma dishes inspired by spring with a wine pairing selected by the Noma team,” a release said. ![]() Prior to winning in 2021, Noma had topped the list no fewer than four times.ĭanish chef and owner René Redzepi will be present for the Dumbo event. Noma, a three-star Michelin restaurant, regularly ranks on the World’s 50 Best Restaurants list for its “unerring focus on unusual seasonal ingredients,” according to judges. Still, it might be worth it for the culinarily curious. The event is a collaboration with the American Express Platinum Card, meaning that owners of the company’s most expensive credit cards are only eligible to book a reservation beginning on Wednesday, April 27. There are only 50 slots available for one of the nine-course dinners that costs a whopping $700 each. Unfortunately, snagging a table at its Denmark location might actually be easier. Now, it’s coming to Brooklyn, albeit with a catch (and it ain’t the seafood): The celebrated restaurant is offering a five-night “dinner series” in Dumbo beginning on May 16. Noma, based in Copenhagen, is one of the world’s most-decorated restaurants. The Brooklyn pop-up restaurant idea may finally have jumped the shark.
