DUMBO Car Service
Photogenic, and difficult to park on.
RideSoHo provides private car service across DUMBO — Water, Front, Plymouth and Jay Streets, the converted warehouse buildings, Brooklyn Bridge Park and the Vinegar Hill blocks alongside.
DUMBO’s Belgian block streets are the most photographed in Brooklyn and among the least practical for a waiting vehicle. Add constant film and photography permits and the meeting point becomes a decision rather than a default.
Working Here
Three things DUMBO teaches you.
Belgian block is not asphalt
And it changes where a car can stop.
Water and Washington Streets look wonderful and offer very little usable kerb. The workable point is usually a corner nearby.
Permits close streets often
More than anywhere else in Brooklyn.
Film, photography and events take blocks out of use at short notice, so the pickup point is confirmed close to the day rather than assumed weeks ahead.
The bridges are immediate
Which is the neighbourhood's advantage.
Manhattan is minutes away over either bridge, and JFK east is straightforward. Getting the car to you is the only hard part.
How People Book
Four ways DUMBO books.
Airport transfers
JFK east, LaGuardia north, Newark through the tunnel. Flights watched from departure.
Into Manhattan
Minutes over the Manhattan or Brooklyn Bridge, with the choice made on the day.
Sightseeing & photography
The bridge views, best in late afternoon, with the car collecting from an agreed point nearby.
Production & events
Shoots, launches and the Brooklyn tech offices, held hourly with equipment staying in the car.
Around Here
What sits around you.
Under the bridges, on the water.
Hotels here
1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge and the waterfront properties around Brooklyn Bridge Park, with the meeting point on a workable street rather than the cobbles at the door.
Brooklyn Bridge Park
The waterfront and the carousel, with pickups from the street rather than the park itself.
Water & Washington Streets
The photographed blocks, cobbled and short on kerb space.
Vinegar Hill
East and quieter, with easier access.
Brooklyn Heights
Up the hill to the south, and a different neighbourhood to work in entirely.
The Navy Yard
East, with the studios and workspaces alongside.
Choosing a Vehicle
Small helps on cobbles.
A Sprinter is difficult on Belgian block. Where one is booked, the pickup point moves to a workable street nearby.

Questions
DUMBO, answered.
Why is a DUMBO pickup harder than it looks?
Belgian block streets like Water and Washington offer very little usable kerb, and film or photography permits close blocks at short notice. The workable point is usually a corner nearby.
Can you collect from Brooklyn Bridge Park?
Yes, from an agreed street beside it rather than the park itself, since vehicles cannot wait on the waterfront paths.
When is the best time for the bridge views?
Late afternoon, when the light is on the Manhattan skyline. Sightseeing days are usually booked hourly so the timing can move with the light.
How long is DUMBO to Manhattan?
Minutes over the Manhattan or Brooklyn Bridge, with the choice made on the day depending on the hour.
Do film permits affect my booking?
They can. Streets here close at short notice, which is why the meeting point is confirmed close to the day rather than fixed weeks ahead.
Can a Sprinter collect in DUMBO?
Rarely on the cobbled blocks. Where a larger vehicle is booked, the pickup point moves to a workable street nearby.
Do you serve the Brooklyn tech offices?
Yes, including hourly days where the car is held between meetings and equipment stays in it.
How far is Williamsburg from DUMBO?
North along the waterfront, around ten minutes on a good day, longer when the BQE is heavy.
