What To Do in DUMBO When Spring Comes Around

Everyone knows Dumbo as the little corner waterfront location, perfect for photo opportunities. Many do not realize all the other experiences that they could be having Down Under the Manhattan Brooklyn Overpass (see what I did there). Whether you want to treat yourself to a pricey day out or just take in the views, Dumbo has something to offer everyone. Now that spring is quickly approaching it’s time to stop going stir crazy, get outside and take in the different scenes and smell the Hudson River.

The Mediterranean food, the wine, the view. Need I say more? Celestine is pure sophistication and because of that perpetually packed. This restaurant makes your trip to Dumbo worth it.
