Activity Description
This Brooklyn neighborhood between the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges ("Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass"; no flying elephants!) offers the perfect blend of cutting-edge art and food.

DUMBO is rapidly transforming from warehouses to one of New York's trendiest neighborhoods with artists’ studios, galleries, chic stores and upscale residential buildings. The proximity to the water offers spectacular views of Lower Manhattan and the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges.

We'll meet for brunch at one of the best and loveliest restaurants in the area.  Dessert  follows at the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory  at historic Fulton Landing, providing us with incredible views of lower Manhattan.  Then chocolate truffles and rich hot chocolate await us at Jacques Torres’ new chocolate shop. While his business primarily wholesales to New York’s best restaurants, we'll savor some of the retail selections offered. Through a glass wall looking out into the production facility, you can almost picture Lucy and Ethel trying to keep up with the conveyer belt!

The next portion of the tour will take us to various galleries exhibiting works of local and (yet) undiscovered artists.

 Our most photogenic tour, Dumbo has stunning views, so don't forget your camera!
 
This tour is offered only on Saturday and Sunday.
