DUMBO — Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass — occupies the northern Brooklyn waterfront between the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges. It's one of the most photographed neighborhoods in New York City, largely because the narrow cobblestone streets frame views of the Manhattan Bridge that appear in nearly every guidebook and photography collection of the city. The NYCDOT cameras on Old Fulton Street and the surrounding DUMBO streets give the NYC Live Command Center a real-time view of this neighborhood from multiple angles.

Mehrere Kamerapositionen decken DUMBO und den angrenzenden Uferbereich des Brooklyn Bridge Park ab:
Old Fulton St @ Furman St: Furman Street runs along the water's edge in Brooklyn Bridge Park, and this camera shows the approach to the park from Old Fulton Street. Old Fulton is the main street that descends from the Brooklyn Heights neighborhood down to the waterfront level.
Old Fulton St @ Prospect St: Mit Blick auf Old Fulton in Richtung Wasser zeigt diese Position die Straße, die unter der Brooklyn Bridge-Fahrbahn verläuft, und bietet den charakteristischen komprimierten Blick auf die Brückenstruktur von unten.
Old Fulton St @ Vine St / Hicks St: The intersection that brings together the main streets of the DUMBO neighborhood. This area contains the highest concentration of DUMBO's restaurant, retail, and gallery activity.
Old Fulton @ Vine St @ Hicks St (Vierbett): Ein Vier-Kamera-Array an dieser Kreuzung, das den Bereich aus mehreren gleichzeitigen Blickwinkeln zeigt.
Cadman Plaza West @ Prospect St: Cadman Plaza ist das Park- und Straßensystem, das DUMBO mit den darüber liegenden Brooklyn Heights verbindet, und die Prospect Street-Kamera zeigt den Übergangspunkt zwischen den beiden Vierteln.
Was Old Fulton Street zeigt
Old Fulton Street is DUMBO's main pedestrian axis. The street descends from the Brooklyn Bridge overpass to the waterfront at a grade that makes it feel separate from the surrounding city. At the bottom of the descent, the Brooklyn Bridge is directly overhead — the roadway and pedestrian walkway of the bridge cross Old Fulton at close range.
Die Kamera-Feeds auf Old Fulton erfassen eine der markantesten Straßenlandschaften im Brooklyn. Die Kombination aus der Brückenkonstruktion über dem Kopf, dem Kopfsteinpflaster, den umgebauten Lagergebäuden auf beiden Seiten und dem Blick auf das Wasser am Ende der Straße macht dieses Viertel auf Fotos sofort erkennbar.
Brooklyn Bridge Park und die Waterfront
Die Furman Street ist die östliche Grenze des Brooklyn Bridge Parks, der sich entlang der Uferpromenade des East River von der Manhattan Bridge bis zum Bereich Atlantic Avenue erstreckt und eine Fläche von etwa 85 Acres umfasst. Der Park wurde ab 2010 schrittweise eröffnet und hat sich zu einer der meistbesuchten Grünanlagen im Brooklyn entwickelt.
The camera at Old Fulton and Furman shows the pedestrian flow between the neighborhood's commercial core and the park. Weekend afternoons in spring, summer, and fall are the most active periods on this camera, as Brooklyn Bridge Park fills with picnickers, cyclists, and people coming to see the Manhattan skyline from the waterfront.
The skyline view from Brooklyn Bridge Park is among the most photographed in New York , the Lower Manhattan towers reflected in the East River with the Brooklyn Bridge in the foreground. The camera feed shows the visitor movement that this view generates: a nearly continuous flow of people arriving at the waterfront and positioning themselves for photographs.
Die Manhattan-Brücke von unten
DUMBO's most photographed view is the one looking down Washington Street (which runs parallel to Old Fulton) toward the Manhattan Bridge towers. The perspective compresses the bridge's arch between two rows of brick warehouse buildings in a way that produces one of the most copied compositions in New York photography. The camera on Old Fulton near this corridor captures the pedestrian and vehicle activity in the area without replicating the famous photographic view directly, but gives a sense of the density of visitor activity that the view generates.
The Jane's Carousel Area
At the foot of Old Fulton Street where it meets the water, Jane's Carousel sits inside a pavilion designed by Jean Nouvel. The 1922 carousel, which was moved to DUMBO from an Ohio amusement park, is visible near the water's edge from the Furman Street camera position. The carousel operates in warmer months and is one of the specific attractions that draws families to this section of the waterfront.
DUMBO's Work Week vs. Weekends
DUMBO has a split personality between weekdays and weekends that the cameras show clearly. Weekday mornings and afternoons show the neighborhood's working population — the technology and media companies headquartered in the converted warehouse buildings produce a steady flow of workers on bike and foot — combined with the deliveries and service activity that supports them.
Die Wochenenden verlagern sich fast ausschließlich auf Besucher. Samstags und sonntags sind die Restaurants bis zum Vormittag gefüllt. Der Park ist am Nachmittag voll. In der Old Fulton Street wimmelt es von Fußgängern, die den Rundkurs DUMBO-to-Brooklyn Bridge Park absolvieren. Die Kamera zeigt an einem Samstagnachmittag im Juli etwas völlig anderes als an einem Dienstagnachmittag im März.
