What to Do
Activities in the DUMBO Area
Food & Drink
Elephant District: Our go-to for incredible Thai food. We’re huge fans of their Khao Soi Ped.
Randolph Beer: They've got awesome drafts on tap
(we love the Perfect Season Ale) and tasty fish and chips. Plus, there's an arcade and feather bowling for some extra fun.
Van Leeuwen Ice Cream: For a sweet treat, you can't go wrong here. Our top pick is the vegan peanut butter brownie honeycomb.
DUMBO offers iconic views of the Manhattan skyline and Brooklyn Bridge from its charming, historic streets.
