One of the five boroughs of the City of New York, which is known as one of the top finiancal, entertainment, and social centers of the world.

In reality it is a place where people come to work and/or drink, unless one is wealthy enough to live comfortably or enjoys slumming it knowing their parent's money will back them up.

The common assumption among residents of Manhattan that visiting any address in another borough is a heroic feat, which, if completed, will be go down in history as a "trek," "schlep," or "journey."
When deciding where to meet friends, the preference for venues with long waits; shoulder to shoulder seating next to complete strangers; the most expensive version of cheap commodities; and comically loud "background" music.
