If you head to DUMBO, definitely go down to the water - there's a lovely park right between the two bridges where they show movies in the summer and have a sculpture exhibit, and if you have kids - there's a great boat-shaped playground. Plus the views of Manhattan and the birdges are amazing on a sunny day.

And if your friends ask you if you'd like to go have some crack, 99% of the time they're actually asking if you'd like to go have fun. (They actually spell it craic). And don't ever count on a bus actually showing up in Cork city... they might speed by two at a time and be completely full after you've waited an hour fifteen instead of the 30 min that the buses are supposed to take.
