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.
Superfine is one of DUMBO's only true "dive bars" with special guest: tasty food at reasonable prices. The atmosphere is laid back with an upscale feel, and we hear the breakfast burrito is to die for. Local, revolving art, farm to table food and live music add to Superfine's casual character. Definitely worth checking out on a rainy Tuesday evening for happy hour.
