Dumbo

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.

When the lunch hour hits DUMBO, just follow the crowds (and the wafting smell of tacos, Thai noodles, and burgers) to the DUMBO Lot on the corner of Jay and Water streets. Every day, 3-4 different food trucks park in this empty lot to serve a variety of worldly foods. Each truck has designated days, so be sure to check out the Twitter page @DUMBOFoodTrucks to know which trucks will be making their appearance. Also, wave "hi" to the camera because you can also view Datalot's live webcam of the lot at www.datalot.com/dumbo-food-truck-cam.
