How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
BOABO is a warehouse district at the Broker end of the bridges, and its name stands for Beneath the Offramp of the Algonquin Bridge Overpass.
The real place
DUMBO stands for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass and is a former industrial area of Brooklyn that has been converted to offices, flats and shops. The game parodies the acronym directly. Wikipedia gives no coordinates for this area, so these are approximate and low confidence; please check them against OSM.
Visiting
Take the F train to York Street. Go to the corner of Washington Street and Water Street for the well-known view of the Manhattan Bridge framing the Empire State Building.
