Manhattan, sometimes known as the City in the region, is the most densely inhabited and geographically smallest of New York City's five boroughs. It is the urban center of the New York metropolitan region, and it is coextensive with New York County, one of the founding counties of the United States of America's state of New York. Manhattan is the city's economic and administrative core, as well as its cultural and historical origin. The borough is mainly made up of Manhattan Island, which is bordered by the Hudson, East, and Harlem rivers, as well as many minor neighboring islands. Manhattan also includes Marble Hill, a tiny neighborhood currently on the U.S. mainland that is isolated from the rest of Manhattan by the Harlem Ship Canal and later linked to The Bronx through landfill. Lower, Midtown, and Upper Manhattan are the three loosely delimited components of Manhattan Island, each cutting across the borough's main axis.

Manhattan has been dubbed the world's cultural, financial, media, and entertainment center, and the borough is home to the United Nations Headquarters. New York City, which is anchored by Wall Street in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan, has been dubbed both the world's most economically powerful city and the world's leading financial center, and Manhattan is home to the world's two largest stock exchanges by total market capitalization: the New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ. Manhattan is home to several global media corporations, and the borough has served as the backdrop for countless books, films, and television series.

Many neighborhoods and monuments in Manhattan are well-known, since New York City welcomed a record 62.8 million tourists in 2017, and Manhattan is home to three of the world's top ten most-visited tourist attractions in 2013: Times Square, Central Park, and Grand Central Terminal. The borough is home to numerous notable bridges, including the Brooklyn, Manhattan, Williamsburg, Queensboro, Triborough, and George Washington Bridges; tunnels, including the Holland and Lincoln Tunnels; skyscrapers, including the Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, and One World Trade Center; and parks, including Central Park.
