This article is about the borough of Manhattan in New York City. For other uses see: Manhattan (disambiguation)
Manhattan is one of the five boroughs that form the City of New York. The borough is coterminous with New York County. As of 2000, the population comprised 1,537,195 persons.
Geography
Manhattan skyline (June 2003)
New York County and the Borough of Manhattan are coextensive. As a part of New York City, New York County contains no other political subdivisions. It occupies the whole of Manhattan Island, surrounded by the East River, the Harlem River, and the Hudson River. It also includes some smaller islands, including Roosevelt Island (formerly Welfare Island, and even earlier Blackwell's Island), and a small portion of the North American mainland (Marble Hill) contiguous with The Bronx. Marble Hill was originally part of Manhattan Island; but the Harlem Ship Canal, dug in the late 19th century to improve navigation on the Harlem River, separated it from the remainder of Manhattan, and eventually the part of the original Harlem River channel separating Marble Hill from the Bronx was filled in.
Manhattan Island is 21.5 km (13 mi) long.
According to the United States Census Bureau, New York County (the Borough of Manhattan) has a total area of 87.5 km² (33.8 mi²). 59.5 km² (23.0 mi²) of it is land and 28.0 km² (10.8 mi²) of it is water. The total area is 32.01% water.
Manhattan is connected by bridges and tunnels to New Jersey to the west, the Bronx to the northeast and Brooklyn and Queens on Long Island to the east and south.
Manhattan landmarks
Streets of Manhattan
The Empire State Building, the theater district around Broadway, Columbia University, the financial center around Wall Street, Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, Harlem, the American Museum of Natural History, Chinatown, and Central Park are all located on this densely populated island. (See also New York, New York.) When one refers to a New York minute, one refers to the extremely rapid pace of living in Manhattan.
Uptown and downtown
In Manhattan, uptown means north and downtown means south, either in direction of motion or in relative location. For example, an uptown train means a subway train heading north, while a restaurant located three blocks downtown would be three city blocks south of the person who is speaking. The terms uptown and downtown are most often used in the relative sense of north and south; however, uptown can also refer to the northern part of Manhattan (above 59th Street) and downtown to the southern part (below 23rd Street or 14th Street). The area in the middle, between 23rd and 59th Streets, is Midtown.
This usage differs from that of most American cities, where downtown refers to the central business district. Manhattan has two central business districts, namely the Financial District downtown and the newer business district in Midtown.
The term Lower Manhattan is commonly used for the southern part of the island, particularly the area below Houston Street.

History
The name Manhattan is from the Algonquian languages of the earliest known inhabitants of the area. Legend has it that the island was purchased from the natives for $24 in beads and other such trinkets. The island was settled by the Dutch in 1624. (See New Amsterdam; see also New York, New York.)
New York County is named in honor of the Duke of York, later to become the Catholic James II of England, after whom the City and State of New York were also named. New York County was an original county of New York State, one of twelve created in 1683. At the time of creation of New York County, it was coextensive with the then New York City and occupied all of Manhattan Island, the same area which it occupies today. In 1873, the western portion of the present Bronx County was transferred to New York County, and in 1895 the remainder of the present Bronx County was transferred to New York County. In 1914, those parts of the then New York County which had been annexed from Westchester County were constituted the new Bronx County, and New York County was reduced again to its present boundaries.
Law and government
Like the other counties which are contained within New York City, there is no county government, but county courts and some others such as the district attorney (public prosecutor) do exist. Each borough within New York City elects a borough president, but the office no longer carries any significant powers. (See New York, New York.)
New York is officially designated as the county seat of New York County.6 This is meaningless for all practical purposes because there are no other towns or cities in New York County, which is wholly contained within the City of New York.

Manhattan is a 1979 romantic comedy film which tells about a divorced forty-something whose ex-wife is writing a tell-all book about their relationship. He is having an affair with a high school girl, and falls for his best friend's girlfriend. It stars Woody Allen, Diane Keaton, Michael Murphy, Mariel Hemingway, Meryl Streep and Anne Byrne.
The movie was written by Allen and Marshall Brickman, and directed by Allen. Allen insisted that this movie be shown in its proper aspect ratio when it was released on video. As a result, all copies of the movie on video are letterboxed.
It was nominated for Academy Awards for Best Actress in a Supporting Role (Mariel Hemingway) and Best Writing, Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen. The film is consistently on the Internet Movie Database's list of top 250 films and was #46 on American Film Institute's 100 Years, 100 Laughs. In 2001 the United States Library of Congress deemed the film "culturally significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry.

A Manhattan is a cocktail made with rye whiskey or bourbon, sweet vermouth (proportions vary from a "sweet" 1:1 to a "dry" 4:1), and a dash of bitters, stirred with ice and strained into a cocktail glass, garnished with a Maraschino cherry with a stem.
The bitters are omitted by many barmen unless specifically requested. Sometimes juice from the cherry jar is added to the cocktail to add sweetness and color.
It is believed that the drink originated at the Manhattan Club in New York City in the early 1870s, where it was invented at a banquet hosted by Jennie Jerome (Lady Randolph Churchill, Winston's mother) in honor of presidential candidate Samuel J. Tilden.
Manhattans are traditionally made with Christian Brothers brandy rather than bourbon in Wisconsin and a few surrounding areas. Therefore, it is crucial to specify a bourbon Manhattan when travelling in these areas to avoid disappointment.
If made with Scotch whisky and dry vermouth, the drink is called a Rob Roy.
