DUMBO is an acronym for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass. It encompasses two sections; one located between the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridge, which connects Brooklyn to Manhattan across the East River, and another which continues east from the Manhattan Bridge to the Vinegar Hill area. I first came to DUMBO in 2005 on a History of Art trip with my school. We had gone to visit an artist in his studio (which, in itself was an incredible experience) and went to go have lunch on the grassy areas by Brooklyn Bridge. I sat looking over towards Manhattan, listening to Kings of Convenience and remember thinking 'I am completely in love with this city'.
