Manhattan - Financial center of the city where numerous companies' offices are located, Manhattan has towering skycrapers and bright lights but despite coming off as very commerical it still has its own distinct culture with neighborhoods like Harlem or The Village. Incase you didn't know Manhattan is an island and one of the 5 boroughs that make up NYC. Since Manhttan is very long and narrow it is usually divided into downtown, midtown, and uptown when you talking about going somewhere. Manhattan has around 1.6 million people living in it right now. Many people refer to Manhattan as the city or NYC because originally Manhttan was the only NYC before they added the other 4 boroughs. Personally I love Manhattan whether its walking in Times Square with the flashing lights or smelling the delicous scent of fried chicken from one of Harlem's restaurants you know your in New York.

Brooklyn has the 3rd largest financial district in NYC and even thought its part of NYC it is very much its own city with its own style and personality. Brookyln is home to immigrants from all over the world, including Italy... |
