I care very little for New York City and know even less. Especially with their current mayor. But, Iām sure there are those out there who might find this interesting.
This surprises me as Iāve never paid attention before.
But, getting down to Manhattan, thereās some stuff to ponder.

Chelsea
Districts
The Flatiron District
The Meatpacking District
The Garment District
The Heights (arenāt there any more as theyāve all been leveled.)
Morningside Heights
Washington Heights
Hamilton Heights
The Bays (there arenāt any of those either)
Turtle Bay
Kips Bay
Squares
Times Square
Union Square
Lincoln Square
Herald Square
Madison Square
Washington Square
And finally;
SoHo: SOuth of HOuston Street
