Standing for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass, DUMBO got it’s name in the 1970s when residents of the then manufacturing district thought a catchy name would attract developers. Home to factories, warehouses and the birthplace of the cardboard box, Dumbo wasn’t considered a bustling neighborhood until the late 1990s, thanks to the development of a strong arts community. Today, over 500 tech and creative companies with more than 10,000 employees occupy a 10 block radius. While what they create has changed over time, this area has always been home to makers, innovators, and dreamers.
It's nearly impossible to walk past One Girl Cookies without stopping in for a quick treat. The 2 for $4 whoopie pies are unbeatable, the cupcakes are lovely, and their iced cubes are made from coffee (um, why didn't we think of this?) One Girl is the perfect place to come when you need that sugar rush between meetings.
