Where Is Manhattan?
Uniquely Manhattan
Arts and culture
Thanks in part to its incredibly diverse culture and rich history of art-focused movements like the Harlem Renaissance, Manhattan is known as a cultural hub that truly knows no bounds. It is, of course, home of the archetypal Broadway show, considered by many to be the highest form of professional theatre in the US. The Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts also houses the Metropolitan Opera, the NYC Opera, the NY Philharmonic, the NYC Ballet, and the Juilliard School, among other smaller organizations. World renowned museums can also be found here in Manhattan—including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Frick Collection.
Sports and events
Manhattan is the city that never sleeps, which means there’s always something happening—a concert, a parade, a sporting event, a festival or celebration… anything and everything. The borough is particularly well known for its iconic street parades, like the famed Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Other popular events include the St. Patrick’s Day Parade and New York Fashion Week. Manhattan is also home to various pro sports teams, including the New York Knicks of the NBA and the New York Rangers of the NHL, both of which play at Madison Square Garden.
Big business
Manhattan is the financial and economic epicenter not just of New York City, but of the state, the country, and even the world. Business hours bring almost 1.5 million commuters to the borough, largely to work in white-collar industries like finance, tech, and communications. Manhattan is home to Wall Street and the New York Stock Exchange, the tech hub known as “Silicon Alley”, and some of the nation’s major broadcasting companies, like ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, and Univision. It’s also features over 500 million square feet of office space, including many of the nation’s corporate headquarters, and Midtown Manhattan is among the largest central business districts in the world.
