Gray Day in DUMBO


I hadn't been to DUMBO (down under Manhattan Bridge Overpass) for about ten years. Then, I bicycled there. This time I came on the subway.


Friday was overcast and gloomy. Everything in Dumbo was oversized, industrial strength and dramatic.


It's all been gentrified to bits -which is wonderful. Here I am under the bridge.


And more of the same.


How light the lofts must be!


Old tram tracks and cobblestones...


shouting out urban and gritty


and reflecting things



a restaurant swathed in vines


and an astoundingly fancy French patisserie. I need to explore further.
