From one of our local reporters, Sabrina:
Dumbo is the perfect hidden gem and hideaway for native New Yorkers and tourists alike. Take a stroll in Brooklyn Bridge Park, enjoy some delectable crepes and eclairs at Almondine Bakery on Water St. Warm up to an eye awakening latte from Archway Cafe at the Pearl St Triangle and meander your way to NOS Shoe Boutique on Front St. to spoil yourself in sassy footwear that will make you feel like a million bucks, but won’t break your budget :-).

Anyone who has tried to get into Almondine, or do very much of anything else in DUMBO on the weekends, braving hordes of art- and other types of tourists, knows that there is nothing “hidden” or “hideaway”-like about DUMBO. At this rate, there won’t be very much “gem”-like about it, either.
