On Saturdays visit the neighborhood DUMBO.  A waterfront community that’s located between the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridge. After serving as a manufacturing community for many decades, DUMBO has become a up and coming section of Brooklyn with stunning views of the Manhattan skyline, a fantastic waterfront park, art galleries, shops and converted residential homes.

Sundays, visitors can travel through Williamsburg. One of the hottest communities in the United States, Williamsburg is brimming with artists, galleries, cafés, fashionistas and stores. One can stroll for hours and blend into a wonderful scene.
