About Manhattan NY
Often referred to as “the city,” Manhattan is the most popular of the five New York City boroughs. It serves as the cultural, economic, and administrative center of New York City. Various media outlets have also described Manhattan as the world’s financial, cultural, and entertainment capital. As the heart of “The City That Never Sleeps,” Manhattan is a financial powerhouse that takes pride in being home to numerous multimillion-dollar entities and Fortune 500 companies. As the historical birthplace of the city of New York, Manhattan has a well-documented history that started way before the colonial era.
However, modern-day Manhattan is believed to have started as a simple trading post established in 1624 by Dutch colonialists. Initially a part of the Dutch colony, Manhattan was taken over by the English colonialists in 1664 and awarded to the king’s brother; the Duke of York, hence the name New York. Manhattan served as the capital of the United States for five years starting from 1785. At the time, it was still known as New York City.
Although the population of Manhattan is reported to be around 1.6 million residents, it swells up to approximately 4 million people during business days. Some of the most famous attractions in Manhattan include the Empire State Building, Central Park, and The Statue of Liberty.

More About The Manhattan
Upper Manhattan
Located in the northern most part of the larger Manhattan borough, Upper Manhattan constitutes Marble Hill, Washington Heights, Inwood and East Harlem neighborhoods. Its most famous landmark is Times Square, which sits at the nucleus of New York City.
Other landmarks include The Cloisters- a museum that preserves different European medieval art forms such as architecture, decorative arts, and sculpture; Grant’s Tomb where the 18th president of the U.S -Ulysses S. Grant- and his wife were buried; the Apollo Theater which created a platform for African-American artists; Riverside Church, Hamilton Grande and Sugar Hill.
The 843-acre Central Park that is sandwiched between the Upper West and East sides, makes for a convenient place to enjoy flora as you relax. It consists of Central Park Zoo, Central Park Rowboat Rental, and the Conservatory Garden. Upper Manhattan features high-end stores such as Hugo Boss, Mac Cosmetics, Swarovski, and H&M among others, making it simple for you to shop.
Lower Manhattan NY
Existing in the most southern part of Manhattan, it is distinctly known for the tragic collapse of the Twin Towers in 2001. It is undeniably one of the easiest places to access in New York with different forms of transport like the Fulton Center that serves almost 300,000 commuters and the several ferry routes.
The region is home to approximately 380,000 persons (as of 2010) and is one of the largest business hubs in the United States ranking fourth economically; Wall Street and the New York Stock Exchange strike as the most outstanding ones. It features seafood markets in Chinatown and the historic African Burial Ground National Monument, which are attractions for visiting tourists.
The World Trade Center houses tribute museums and memorials that are a great reminder of the happenings of 9/11. On floors 101 and 102 of Freedom Tower, you’ll get to experience a panoramic breathtaking view of the city and beyond.
