A manhole cover provides a helpful compass for navigating the Belgian block streets of one of Brooklyn's most visited neighborhoods appropriately called Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass, or "DUMBO" for short. Bookended by the dramatic shadows of the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges, the area was an industrial warehouse district in the early 20th-century, and now re-developed into one of the most expensive neighborhoods with luxury residential lofts, art galleries, and a concentration of tech companies, such as e-commerce retailer Etsy.
