If you've ever wandered through Dumbo wondering where to grab a last-minute art class, find a cozy snow-day activity or track down a hyper-specific bakery, the Brooklyn waterfront neighborhood now has a new digital helper ready to answer. The Dumbo Business Improvement District has officially rolled out Dumbo Concierge, an AI-powered neighborhood guide designed to help locals, office workers and visitors navigate one of New York City's busiest creative hubs.

Fishs Eddy, the Flatiron dishware shop co-founded by Julie Gaines that's been a New York institution since 1986 (889 Broadway and 19th Street), has opened its first cafe: It offers affordable coffee, root beer floats, and egg creams -made with either Bosco or Fox's U-Bet syrup- from an old-school soda fountain. It's tucked in the first Brooklyn location, at 81 Front Street, near Washington Street, as part of the new 3,800-square-foot Dumbo store and the brand's second location.
