Found myself with some unexpected time off the other day so I crossed the river into Dumbo and ventured into a quaint section called Vinegar Hill, where I remembered I was carrying a camera and so emerged with the following...
Dumbo from the Brooklyn Bridge. DUMBO is an acronym for "Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass" and as far as I can tell has little to do with flying elephants.
A quiet street on Vinegar Hill.
The Commandant's House overlooking the Brooklyn Navy Yard. This was about as close as I could get to it without having bloodthirsty hellhounds unleashed on me.

I wish I could go photographing beneath New York bridges.
Nice photos.
And interesting; never heard of 'DUMBO'.
Ha. My word verification is 'mention'. Just thought I'd mention it. ;)
...
Ah, I misspelled it! Now it's 'feredirm'. :(
Thanks.
Word verification is a pain. But I suppose you can put a positive spin on it by treating like a fortune cookie. "Feredirm" is your clue for the day.
