Located on the East River in New York, DUMBO is an area between the Brooklyn Bridge and the Manhattan Bridge. It was once a ferry terminal filled with industrial buildings and warehouses. Abandoned in the 1980s, it was transformed into a cultural and creative paradise, and now it has become a hub for startup tech companies.
