DUMBO — Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass — is a Brooklyn neighborhood of converted warehouses and stunning Manhattan views, reachable on the A, C, and F trains.

In Brooklyn Bridge Park sits Jane's Carousel, a restored 1922 carousel rescued from a defunct Ohio amusement park. Since 2011 it has spun inside a glass pavilion designed by Jean Nouvel, right under the Manhattan Bridge — a whimsical counterpoint to the converted warehouses around it.
