DUMBO

Portside Wharf’s evolution continues at a fast clip, with the Happy Fat Group (the team behind Ruby, My Dear and COPPA) opening a sibling of its heralded burger concept Red Hook at the riverside precinct. DUMBO – named after the iconic Brooklyn neighbourhood, Down Under Manhattan Bridge Overpass – channels the same New York-based inspirations as Red Hook, offering a menu of American-inspired street food alongside a drinks menu featuring wines, playful cocktails, and international and domestic craft beers. Equipped with a larger kitchen, the DUMBO crew is able to lean harder into New York street eats and other specialties, serving the likes of fried chicken with liège waffles, Dirty Water Dogs (an ode to the floppy franks served from New York’s street-side hot dog vendors), poppy seed bagels with smoked salmon, cream cheese and crispy capers, and a fish sando with American cheese.
