Go HERE for some gnarly photos of DUMBO.
Lately, all that my nerd friends have been yapping about is DUMBO. Seriously, grab any young entrepreneur in the technology field and ask them if they've been to DUMBO and I'm willing to bet that, not only did they hop on the C Train that very DAY for a nerd herd luncheon, but that they are beat from the rest of the afternoon they spent there playing with their nerd toys together. Modern Humorist's Mike Colton couldn't be happier about his move from Manhattan to Dumbo:
"The area is 'industrial, but artsy, and seems to be on its way up.'
Other tech startups in Dumbo include Gothamist, Element Inc., Drop.io, Big Spaceship, The Knot, Free Verse, and Carrot Creative, just to name a few. Hoping to find out why the nerd herds are all flocking across the river, we went straight to Mike Germano, the creative director of Carrot Creative to find out. He lets us in on the reason tech want to be in DUMBO, the culture of the area, and why we should care about l33t speak.
Why did you decide to be based out of Dumbo?
Our main reason for relocating to DUMBO was the real estate cost relative to Midtown, the former cardboard-box factories that line the streets of DUMBO make for perfect loft-like office space. This type of environment is a boon to our creativity and even makes it possible for computer nerds like us to engage in our primary form of exercise: Nintendo Wii.

Today is July 1st, which means that the countdown until the ever-anticipated July 4th weekend is winding down. Not all of us can escape the heat of summer in the city, whether it be because of monetary or time constraints.
So over the next couple of days, I'll be posting some short, little day trips (though you could spread them out for longer if you so choose), which you can take for a little breather this Independence Day weekend, instead of spending it inside your cramped air-conditioned (if you are so lucky) apartment. First Stop: Beacon, New York
