Boroughs, districts, and neighborhoods define the city. The borough of Manhattan, a mile-long, 2-mile-wide island, is the financial, commercial, and entertainment core. With the exception of older areas, such as Greenwich Village, the rest of the city follows an orderly grid pattern of avenues and streets laid out in Broadway, another exception, moves at a gentle diagonal across the city.
Filling out the island are distinct districts. Lower Manhattan contains the Financial District. Midtown is the commercial center, with corporate headquarters, various media businesses, and world-class shopping along Fifth Avenue.
Large skyscrapers dominate Lower Manhattan, then retreat as does hard bedrock to build on in those areas, then reemerges in Midtown. The in-between area is dominated by older ethnic enclaves like Chinatown and Koreatown and the more famous artsy areas of Greenwich and Soho. Times Square and the Theater District just west of Midtown contain the world-famous theaters and numerous restaurants.
Surrounding Central Park, the Upper West and Upper East sides are predominantly residential, although both contain ample dining and shopping. The Upper East Side also contains posh enclaves unaffordable for most, outstanding museums, and the designer boutiques of Madison Avenue.
The Upper West Side is dotted with large apartment buildings and is a favorite for working professionals and families. Farther north above Central Park, neighborhoods start to decline, although Harlem is undergoing a rebirth. The boroughs of Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx are a patchwork of residential and commercial areas and parks. They have large industrial areas with a predominant blue-collar feel containing manufacturing and freight distribution centers for the area. All are close to the city and offer relatively more living space, and all are experiencing verying degrees of economic and residential revival.
Ethnic diversity is strong in all boroughs, while Queens is reputedly the most ethnically diverse area in the country. Brooklyn is large and diverse enough to function as a standalone city, with large and some upscale residential areas with a modern downtown and substantial commercial and retail offerings areas.
Brooklyn shares the western end of Long Island with Queens, with excellent transportation service into the city by rail and subway and numerous beaches, parks and residential neighborhoods south and east towards the large JFK airport. Brooklyn is socioeconomically very diverse, with a mix of upscale, middle class and poorer areas, while Queens is more clearly identifiable as middle class. The Bronx area, on the mainland to the north of Manhattan, is the grittiest of the three areas, although its strategic location between the city and to better areas north is starting to bring some interest.
Staten Island, a mainly-residential borough to the south, is connected to Manhattan by ferries and the Verrazano Narrows bridge. Finally, the New York metro area includes northern suburbs stretching up into Westchester County between the east bank of the Hudson River and the Connecticut border. Westchester is generally upscale and expensive, with spread-out towns and a country setting. White Plains is the largest city and a modern corporate center with large facilities for IBM and a number of companies relocating north from Manhattan.
Smaller but very upscale areas lie east along the Long Island Sound Rye being an example and north along the Hudson as the smaller towns of Tarrytown, Ossining and Croton-on-Hudson. Rockland County is more middle class with some working-class areas. West Nyack is a large family-oriented middle class area.
Other suburbs give workers access to New York by freeway or by rail lines across the Hudson or to northern New Jersey. The New York area offers a rich assortment of amenities, with world-class dining, shopping, and performing arts including theater, symphony, opera, and live music.
Museums and architectural attractions, large and small, draw global audiences. An extensive public transit system with subways and buses serves the urban core and links the boroughs.
A suburban rail and ferry network services surrounding communities in Connecticut, Long Island, and New Jersey. Three major airports—La Guardia, Kennedy, and nearby Newark—provide air service domestically and abroad.
Surrounding the city are numerous recreation areas: Long Island beaches, the Poconos, the Hudson Valley, and the Jersey Shore, to name only a few. The downsides are significant. In most parts of the country, the majority of commuters get to work in under half an hour. Most commuters in can expect to fall in that range. It is much more common for employees to have to travel over 45 minutes to their place of employment than most parts of country which could indicate bad traffic or that people typically live far from where they work.
