DUMBO
Bridge-named Brooklyn area
Dumbo is a neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York, situated beneath the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges.
The name is an acronym for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass.
Once industrial, it's now known for cobblestone streets, art galleries, and tech startups.
We walked along the waterfront in Dumbo. (Lowercase dumbo is a mild insult meaning stupid person, from the Disney elephant.)
