Overview

Soak up the art, food & views in one of the most beautiful and iconic parts of the city, led by local art expert and community builder, Alexandra Harper.

We will take in the unique sights, sounds and tastes that make DUMBO such a rich and amazing neighborhood, with a focus on female-owned & run businesses. We will see some of the best visual art in the city, both indoors and out, along with an exclusive private studio visit with a local artist, sampling some unique savory snacks and sweet treats along the way.

This walk features some of the most beautiful waterfront views of Manhattan, and you will learn more about how this fascinating neighborhood has grown and changed over time. It is a great opportunity to take a deep dive into one of NYC's most beautiful and fascinating neighborhoods, learn about its history and meet new friends along the way.

We will end near the East River ferry, if you would like to ride back to Manhattan with other attendees (not included in trip price).
