BUMBO- It’s Almost Like DUMBO But with BENNY
BUMBO – Benny Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass
We’re going to go out on a limb here and guessing that you’d rather be somewhere other than where you are right now…
But, there you sit, in front of your monitor and a cup coffee, thinking about laying out in the sun in Central Park, or tonight’s party, or your thinking about how great it would be to go to a really cool concert – In DUMBO. Us too! While scouring the Brooklyn Flee Market for lost records of the Beatles we stumbled upon the Manhattan Bridge Archway!
The Arch under the Manhattan Bridge in Dumbo was reopened after being off limits for nearly two decades. Perfect! We think it fits more party people then the main dance floor at Pacha. Exciting!
Here’s our idea! It’s just an idea for now but were working on it.
Take one great DJ (Benny Benassi) add a really cool venue (Manhattan Bridge Archway) and some really cool visual projections like NYCNightclubbing and give the 100th Anniversary of the Manhattan Bridge a proper Birthday Party.
Research:
The DUMBO Improvement District, who is helping to secure funding for the $500K improvement project of the Arch, noted that the historic, 46-foot-wide archway below the Manhattan Bridge will be “for public, non-vehicular use.” Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz said he could see there being special events held in the archway at night, for those who don’t mind the constant soothing hum of subway and car traffic overhead. Marty we don’t mind! Can we have a party? Please! We have to make a few calls to Kate Kerrigan, the Executive Director of the Dumbo Improvement District.
Okay here is the plan:
