DUMBO Manhattan Bridge View

The view of the Manhattan Bridge from the intersection of Washington and Water Streets is defined by the rigid framing of red-brick industrial warehouses on either side. This corridor provides a direct, centered line of sight to the bridge’s steel towers and trusses, with the Empire State Building visible between the bridge’s legs. The cobblestone paving underfoot reflects the nineteenth-century history of the district, which began as a hub of manufacturing and ferry transit.
