Today’s amNY features Dumbo in their Food Lover’s guide to this Brooklyn neighborhood. As the article says, “Fresh and local food is the focus of the eateries and specialty food shops in Brooklyn’s Dumbo neighborhood. Innovative chefs and purveyors take cues from the neighborhood’s artistic community, with eclectic and creative cuisine.” There is a list of 8 places to check out for food in Dumbo:

1. Brooklyn Flea (June to November), Water and New Dock Street
2. Jacques Torres Chocolate, 85 Water Street
3. Almondine Bakery, 66 Water Street
4. ñ and Rice, 81 Washington Street
5. Foragers Market, 56 Adams Street
6. Superfine, 126 Front Street
7. Baco, 71 Jay Street
8. Vinegar Hill House, 72 Hudson Avenue

Surprising to see River Cafe and Grimaldi’s Pizza off the list since food lists in Dumbo typically include them. But others such as newcomer Choice Market, reBar, and the more upscale 5 Front were excluded as well. Rumor has it that there are a few cafes and/or restaurants being planned in the area, but nothing is set yet. If anyone cares to share, please comment!
