Summer Picnic in Dumbo
August 18th, 2008
Brooklyn Based, a great resource for Brooklyn food, culture, shops, and people, visits the best picnic locations around Brooklyn and suggests heading to Brooklyn Bridge Park on Plymouth St. (at Washington or Main) in Dumbo. Both the Brooklyn Bridge Park, and the adjoining Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park are great locations to set down blankets for a picnic. For food, Brooklyn Based suggests picking up gourmet food from Foragers Market (lunch menu), desserts from Jacques Torres, or panini sandwiches or salads from Dumbo General Store. They also suggest picking up a bottle of wine at Blanc & Rouge.
Other recommendations we would include are Almondine Bakery for pastries and sandwiches, ReBar for tapas and sandwiches, or a pizza from Grimaldi’s.
