- Not all the best is in Manhattan - for some impressions, God himself ordered a ride to Brooklyn! Moreover, riding there is a pleasure.
- There are two districts in New York that are rarely visited by tourists. But in vain — they are considered one of the most beautiful and interesting in the whole city. We are ready not only to share information, but also to organize a tour.
- Perhaps these are two islands of urban luxury outside of Manhattan. Areas where you can get the most out of the spirit and atmosphere. Both are located in Brooklyn and both have turned from gray industrial areas into... However, what they have turned into, let's talk about each separately.
- So, a guide to Brooklyn Heights and Dumbo from American Butler!
DUMBO
DUMBO
- Or Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass — "Under the Manhattan Bridge." This area consists of two blocks that actually surround the bridges. Until the end of the 19th century, there was a soap factory, a paper factory, warehouses and... And that's it. But after the Brooklyn Bridge was built — the area was cleared of enterprises and prepared for development.
- In the meantime, the area was just getting used to the new status, the territory was quickly flooded with artists. Former warehouses were profitable to rent for workshops. From them came the name DUMBO, consonant with the English word "stupid". For a while, this scared off luxury real estate developers.
- And it turned out to be the best thing that could have happened. Dumbo began to turn into art quarters with a huge number of cheap establishments with insanely delicious food. Today it is not just a fashionable place, but also the gastronomic Mecca of Brooklyn.
Brooklyn Heights
Brooklyn Heights
- Can you imagine how much real estate can cost if it is your own house with a front garden overlooking the East River, overlooking the Statue of Liberty, Manhattan and the Brooklyn Bridge? And if there is a walking promenade and a luxurious park nearby? Multiply the numbers you provided by three. Better yet, ten. Welcome to Brooklyn Heights!
- This area is truly historic, having existed and flourished since before the Revolutionary War. They try to keep the houses here in the same style that they originally had — wooden siding, shutters and pilasters in stock. At various times, Truman Capote, Walt Whitman, Henry and Arthur Miller and many other famous writers, artists and poets lived here.
- It is also interesting how some streets are called — Cranberry, for example, or Orange. Behind this is a local legend about a pacifist grandmother, who at night sealed the official names with paper and wrote such cuteness. True or not, no one will say for sure, but it definitely gives color.
But this is just for starters — you definitely need to get acquainted with Dumbo and Heights live. We will show you every single iconic place, feed you the most delicious pizza in your life and lead you through the fruit streets so that you will remember your trip to America forever.
