DUMBO

What was once a warehouse-filled industrial area you'd be lucky to find an artist's studio loft in is now a multi-million dollar hood attracting some of the city's wealthiest new-money elite. But besides the condos with a view, a slew of new developments have given non-BK residents a reason to visit. Empire Stores at 55 Water Street, for example, is a chic shopping destination featuring waterfront restaurants like Cecconi's and Sugarcane, as well as Soho House's Brooklyn outpost, DUMBO House. With a rooftop pool offering this view, it's no wonder so many celebs and cool kids have been flocking.
