since i am from queens i didnât know much about brooklyn. after reading this article i got to know there are so many historical place in brooklyn. one of the most unknown place was to me vinegar hills. Even though i went to this neighborhood few times while i was visiting Dumbo, i still had no idea about the name of the place. i also found out in these article Dumbo was an acronym for âDown under the Manhattan bridge overpassâ.its  amazing how a neighborhood in this city can have such history behind it.
