Packed with sleek skyscrapers, beautiful brownstones and panoramic park spaces, Manhattan combines world-class business with an unending supply of cultural and recreational opportunities. And in the middle of it all, a plush green oasis called Central Park awaits. Buzzing with people from all walks of life, Manhattan is a place full of energy, action and entertainment.

NEIGHBORHOODS

Come to Manhattan and you’ll find a borough full of historic neighborhoods. Visit Chinatown and see sidewalks teeming with tourists taking advantage of exceptionally low prices. Head over to SoHo (South of Houston) and stop into any number of boutiques that line the cobblestone streets. Then make your way up to Harlem to catch a show at the world-famous Apollo Theater.

DESTINATIONS

One of Manhattan’s many cultural highlights is Museum Mile, a stretch of museums along 5th Avenue including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Guggenheim. Surrounding Times Square, Broadway theaters offer Tony Award® winning performances of all kinds and nearby Lincoln Center is home to world-class music by the New York Philharmonic among many others. Head downtown to Lower Manhattan to see the New York Stock Exchange and visit the South Street Seaport.

NYCEDC IN MANHATTAN

NYCEDC is involved with the Sherman Creek Neighborhood Plan which is developing the Inwood area of Harlem. The project focuses on commercial and residential development in the area which will include easier access to the waterfront and more recreational opportunities. The new amenities and employment opportunities will stimulate the local economy and make the area more enjoyable for residents and visitors.
