Fulton Ferry is a small area adjacent to Dumbo in the New York City borough of Brooklyn. The neighborhood is named for the Fulton Ferry, a prominent ferry line that crossed the East River between Manhattan and Brooklyn, and is also the name of the ferry slip on the Brooklyn side. The neighborhood is part of Brooklyn Community District 2.
The Fulton Ferry District is a national historic district listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.[1] It consists of 15 contributing buildings built between 1830 and 1895. They are an assortment of commercial and commercial and residential brick buildings ranging from two to four stories in height. There is one eight-story building, the Eagle Warehouse, a Romanesque Revival style building built by The Brooklyn Eagle in 1893. The district is bisected overhead by the Brooklyn Bridge.[2] Today the area holds many popular attractions such as Pier One of Brooklyn Bridge Park and Grimaldi's Pizzeria. Bargemusic, a concert venue, is moored there today. Manhattan ferry service returned in 2006 at the next pier to the north.

Hi I'm David Hill with New York Habitat. We are at the intersection of 23rd street and 6th ave in Manhattan Today we will be taking the F train Under the East River into Brooklyn where will we be showing you a great neighborhood called DUMBO. New York Habitat - Video with David Hill DUMBO - Part 1 - Brooklyn, NY So while we are on our way to Brooklyn I thought I would let you know that this will be the first of a two part series on DUMBO. So make sure you subscribe to our youtube channel so you wont miss part 2 which will be out in a few weeks. The name "DUMBO" is an acronym standing for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass, and it's tucked between the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges. You can walk or cycle across either to get to to Manhattan in as little as ten minutes. The F and C trains stop here and the 2/3 station, which will take you to Times Square, is just a little farther away at Clark Street in Brooklyn Heights. To cross the Brooklyn Bridge on foot to get to Manhattan from DUMBO, head to Washington Street. Here you'll find this underpass that will lead you up a stairway and bring you up onto the Brooklyn Bridge Pedestrian Walkway You can't beat views from DUMBO. Here on the Fulton Ferry Landing, you're practically underneath the Brooklyn Bridge, and you can see downtown skyscrapers like the Woolworth Building as well as boats coming in and out of the harbor. For a special occasion, reserve a window-side table here at the River Café, it's a Michelin-starred restaurant where the food is as fine as the view. In the 19th century, the Fulton Ferry Landing was the busiest spot in Brooklyn. It was named after the boat that shuttled residents to Manhattan, in fact it was the only way to get across the East River until the Brooklyn Bridge opened in 1883. Next to the Fulton Ferry Landing is the beautiful Brooklyn Bridge Park. It opened in 2010, and is the first section of what will be an 85-acre waterfront park. These piers were all covered with abandoned warehouses just a few years ago. Now you'll find lawns and paths that are as beautifully landscaped as any in the city. In the months of July and August, this park transforms into an outdoor cinema. Pull up on a blanket gaze out at the Statue of Liberty, you'll feel like you're in a movie while watching one. Of course the best way to feel like a local in Brooklyn, is to live like a local by renting a furnished apartment or vacation rental through New York Habitat. Whether you're returning to Brooklyn via the Brooklyn Bridge Walkway, or you're coming home from the outdoor cinema at the park, there's no better way to finish a long day out than to relax in your home away from home. These landmarked buildings are the Tobacco Warehouse and Empire Stores. They were built in the 1870s to hold dry goods to be loaded onto ships. Imagine them buzzing with workers hauling down crates on pulleys, and you'll get a sense of what the area was like in its heyday. It was a major hub of both shipping and manufacturing. All kinds of things were produced here in the 19th century. from beer, to boxes, to soap. In fact, DUMBO played such an important role in New York City commerce that it was designated a historic district in 2007. Well, I hope you've enjoyed this first part of our 2-part series on DUMBO in Brooklyn. If you know of any places that we missed in the video, make sure you leave a comment in the comment section below. Be sure to visit our website at nyhabitat.com where you'll find great furnished apartments and vacation rentals through out Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens. The only way to truly experience this amazing city is to live like a local in a furnished apartment. I'm David Hill with New York Habitat. we hope to see you soon in the Big Apple!
Ferry service
Fulton Ferry
Though boats and sail ferries called at these locations since the 18th century, the inauguration of Robert Fulton's steam Fulton Ferry Company in 1814 established his name on the ferry service, which revolutionized travel between the then City of New York on Manhattan Island and the Village of Brooklyn and the rest of Long Island. The opening of the New York and Brooklyn Bridge in 1883 assured the decline of this and other ferries on the East River. Fulton Ferry service ended in 1924. The major thoroughfares leading to the Fulton Ferry from both landings were (and are) named Fulton Street, both in Manhattan and in Brooklyn. The BMT Fulton Street Line and BMT Lexington Avenue Line (or "Old Main Line") elevated railways both ended at the Brooklyn side of the ferry, but were later moved with the majority of trips using the Brooklyn Bridge.
East River Ferry
Ferry service to Manhattan returned in 2006,[3] with New York Water Taxi operating seasonal service. In February 2011, New York Waterway was contracted to operate a route calling at six slips in Brooklyn and Queens as well as the Manhattan East Side terminals.[4] Service, begun in June 2011, operates in both directions with year-round peak service running every 20 minutes. Additional Summer (April-Oct) daily service runs off-peak every 30 minutes.[5][6] The NY Waterway service became part of NYC Ferry's East River route in May 2017. In addition, Fulton Ferry has been served by NYC Ferry's South Brooklyn route[7][8] since 2017.[9][10]
