Manhattan
Island is loosely divided into Downtown (Lower Manhattan), Midtown (Midtown Manhattan), and Uptown (Upper Manhattan), with Fifth Avenue dividing Manhattan's east and west sides.
Manhattan Island is bounded by the Hudson River to the west and the East River to the east. To the north, the Harlem River divides Manhattan Island from the Bronx and the mainland United States.
Manhattan is often described
as the cultural and financial capital of the world and
hosts the United Nations Headquarters.Anchored by Wall Street in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan, New York City has been called both the
most economically powerful city and the leading financial center of the world,and
Manhattan is home to the world's two largest stock exchanges by total market capitalization: the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ.This city is called the big apple and
the city that never sleep.
Manhattan has been the scene of many important American
cultural movements. In 1912, about 20,000 workers, a quarter of them women,
marched upon Washington Square Park to commemorate the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, which killed 146 workers
on March 25, 1911. Many of the women wore fitted tucked-front blouses like
those manufactured by the Triangle Shirtwaist Company, a clothing style that
became the working woman's uniform and a symbol of women's liberation, reflecting the alliance of
labor and suffrage movements.
Manhattan
is the economic engine of New York City, with its 2.3 million workers in
2007 drawn from the entire New York metropolitan areaaccounting for almost
two-thirds of all jobs in New York City. In the first quarter of 2014, the
average weekly wage in Manhattan (New York County) was $2,749, representing the
highest total among large counties in the United States. Manhattan's
workforce is overwhelmingly focused on white collar professions, with manufacturing nearly extinct.
Manhattan also has the highest per capita income of any county in the United
States.
The Theater District around Broadway at Times Square, New York University, Columbia University, Flatiron Building, the Financial District around Wall Street, Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, Little Italy, Harlem, the American Museum of Natural History,Chinatown, and Central Park are all located on this densely
populated island. Manhattan has many energy-efficient green office buildings,
such as the Hearst Tower, the rebuilt 7 World Trade Center, and the Bank of America Tower—the first skyscraper designed to attain
a Platinum LEED Certification.
