Just ten years ago, it looked like nobody want to live and there was nothing to be developed. It was like just waste land. However, that land has changed golden chance. Now, everyone loves this land and everyone wants to live here. Moreover, Dumbo is the one of developing area in the world, the perfect place for young artists as well. There is no place in the country better known as a ground of artists, leisure and beautiful place than Dumbo which stands for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass. If you visit New York City from far somewhere, you should go.

Saturday

1. MOVE COOL FROM BUSY | 4P.M.

I call this bridge magic passage. This is Brooklyn Bridge. It would be a great chance if you cross from Manhattan to Brooklyn. You can feel that time is flying never to return — it is so beautiful so you don’t want to miss anything as much as you don’t want to miss anything when you are watching a movie — while you are walking. It gave an inspiration to a lot of artists. Also, it has been with so much drama and movie films. Especially, it is the most beautiful and unforgettable view when a flaming sunset down. There is a splendid 84m Brooklyn tower which was designed by a gothic building. It was built by John A. Roebling. He got an idea of the bridge when he was on the ferry to Brooklyn and the ferry was frozen in. The minor matter created historic matter.

 

2. MAKE A SWEET | 5P.M.
