Itinerary description
|
Tour of the iconic sites of DUMBO, Brooklyn Bridge and Chinatown.
Starts at the York tube entrance
DUMBO
Dumbo is an acronym for the words Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass.
On December 18, 2007, the New York Landmarks Preservation Commission voted unanimously to designate the section of DUMBO a historic district.
CHINATOWN
Most of the jobs in Chinatown belong to the lower class, the salaries are below the legal minimum (which is, in the case of the US, at $1,256.7 per month, the equivalent of €1,154.3) and transactions are made in cash to avoid paying taxes. This type of economy gives work to many immigrants who, due to language problems, cannot access better jobs. This system attracted the fashion industry to set up factories in the Chinatown area. There is also significant activity in the tourism and restaurant sector.
NOTICE: The route described as well as the track and waypoints I have downloaded from my GPS after doing it personally. Even so, you should consider them merely indicative. The tracks do not always mark the exact itinerary, therefore they may contain errors, this is due to the fact that during the recording by GPS the reception of the satellites may be weak, especially in areas of ravines, deep gorges, areas of thick forest, etc. It is the responsibility of whoever performs them, the appropriate security measures for each difficulty, which will depend on the weather CONDITIONS, as well as the technical and physical preparation of the person who performs them.
I always recommend going accompanied to the mountain, notifying an acquaintance or family member of our itinerary and expected times, carrying the phone with a sufficient charge, water, food and adequate shelter for the time and route to be carried out.
Leave everything as it was or better so that we can all continue to enjoy it and that the only traces of your step are those of your boots.
