DUMBO Manhattan Bridge View (Brooklyn)

I visited the iconic photo spot in DUMBO where you can see the Manhattan Bridge perfectly framed between the buildings. It’s one of the most famous photo locations in New York City, and definitely worth visiting. Unfortunately, it started raining just as I arrived from Manhattan. I still took some photos in the rain, but when it got heavier, I stepped into a nearby café called The Roaster (or something similar). I ordered a coffee, but it was a bad experience the drink was expensive, the cup was very small, and the taste was awful, especially the milk, which seemed old or poorly frothed. I didn’t complain because they didn’t offer a receipt, and I noticed a sign saying you can only request a refund if you have a printed receipt, which they never provided. I left feeling disappointed and would not recommend that café. Once the rain lightened, I went back out to take more photos. The view was stunning. I really recommend coming here the location is beautiful and very photogenic, especially during clear weather. Just make sure to bring your own drink or get coffee elsewhere.
