Get ready to explore the great opportunities that you will observe in Brooklyn. I know when you hear about Brooklyn, it may seem boring. but it really isn’t. You can find so many interesting things. There are tons of sight-seeing adventures you can go with your families and friends. Unlike Queens or Bronx there aren’t much places you get to see. So why not visit Brooklyn. You will get a lot research that you guys have to work on. Both of these classes Effective Speaking and English 1101 (Prof. Davis & Prof. Rosen) are great classes. You will have the most amazing time within these two classes. In English, you will get to learn sources, summaries, and how to interpret essays. I mean hey its college might as well get used to it. The one thing I recommend you guys to do is when you get projects you guys should start it the first day because there are outlines and drafts that are due within a day or so earlier after the due date. One great experience I had was when our whole class went on the Walking Tour around City Tech. It was really fun and amazing. Professors took you to the places where you have never been to before. For effective speaking, you will get over the fear of talking in front of a group of people. You will have to do a few speeches that is part of the course and theirs only 2 exams. This class was pretty fun and interesting. the speeches were actually a motivation for us to do better and get over our fear. I mean I did it, but I still need to improve a little bit more. Good Luck and Enjoy!
Dumbo has the New York City’s highest concentration of technology. This place is a beautiful place. You can see a lot of old buildings there and more narrower streets that they had long time ago. You can find many things their. You can find the Brooklyn Bridge Park their. There’s also the merry go round where kids can go and ride on it. Dumbo has art galleries and boutiques, restaurants and cafes. There are super markets there as well but they are a pretty pricey. When you go to the park you can see the beautiful skyline above the city. You would see The Brooklyn Bridge on one side and the Manhattan Bridge on the other side. There is a water ferry that goes from the other side of the ocean to the other end of the ocean. The area that eventually became Dumbo often used to be referred to as the Bridges that I have mentioned earlier. The landmarks included almost the whole neighborhood in what it is called now is Dumbo Historic District. Overall this area is still known to so many people. A lot of people go their just so they can relax and enjoy the whole view and the calm environment especially during the summer time.
Dumbo covers 2 sections, one located between the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges, which connects Brooklyn to Manhattan across the East River and another that continues east from the Manhattan Bridge to the Vinegar Hil area. This  area has emerged as one of New York City’s premier arts districts, with a cluster of for-profit art galleries. There also was chocolate factory and ice cream factory opened as well and different cafe’s. These were the Brooklyn open public touring place where a lot of people will come and see these places and enjoy with their family and friends. The first public place in the neighborhood was Fulton Ferry, followed by Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park. Brooklyn Bridge Park it was launched in 2006.
I remember my first day going to the Dumbo place. It was almost 7 in the evening and my friend and I were really bored so decided to go and take a walk around their. We went their and I was shocked because it was just so beautiful and like the buildings and the street reminded me of the city. When we got to our main destination we saw the merry-go-around area and a park. A lot of people were their as well with their family and friends taking pictures and enjoying their family bonding time.
Back then the western portion of the neighborhood was known as Fulton landing that was back in the 1890’s. The cardboard box was invented in the Robert Gair building on Washington Street, which is now the home of the Etsy. The Dumbo historic district consists of properties bound by John Street to  the north, York Street to the south. Main Street to the west, and Bridge Street to the east. Dumbo, an acronym for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass is neighborhood in New York City borough of Brooklyn. Now recently this place has changed there are more open spaces. Like for example: the parks, the beaches, and one of the cites has mentioned that their are a lot shops, bookstores, wedding areas, banquet halls. and etc. In the past their was overgrown trees and rolling green lands. The specific interaction of the park were not looked upon carefully. Lots of magazine and reviewers were trying to have their way of selling the park as a a place for those looking around for something reclusive. In one of the magazine it was mentioned that this park is sort of like a getaway for professionals and families to come and enjoy this area. The Brooklyn Bridge Park had a few problems going on so they contacted Jane Walentas. She eagerly took the opportunity to donate money to the park so that it can be beautiful and be fixed in place. Now a carousel is their which is attracting all the tourists to the park. The kids are really enjoying the place. It’s a place to go especially during the summer time because of the nice breeze.
In one of the articles by New York Times, one of the residents said how their were deep wells along the side of the building. if people ever got in their they’re would’ve been no other way out. The holes has been covered and the edges are smooth now. Now train tracks are running in the old uneven streets in the Dumbo. Another person has said how its a beautiful place to live in. For example the environment, the people, the stores around the area, the scenery of the Brooklyn bridge itself.
Everyone has their own opinion about the Dumbo Park. Some don’t like it and some do like it. To gather up all the main details about the Dumbo place, there are good amount of restaurants, cafes and activity stores all connected together. The park itself is pretty big. When you enter the park you would see drastic changes. The interesting thing you will see is street cobblestones to beach cobblestones and rocks spanning the area with wooden park benches dotting the way. At the side you will see mini cute gardens,trees, and plant’s If you go a little deeper then you will see grass area where book lovers can lay down on grass and rest and enjoy the beautiful nature.
In conclusion Dumbo is a place when you can hang out with your family and friends. You can have mini picnics their, throw parties, go for a hang out. When you are really stressed you can just sit by the sea where the benches are and listen to what naure is calling out for you. When I went their and experienced the nature  myself, it was really calm and soothing. My mind was fresh and I was worry free for a good couple of hours.
