Manhattan Neighborhood Map

...A Guide to Unique and Local NYC

This Manhattan neighborhood map shows you the heart and soul of New York City…the places New Yorkers live, eat, work, explore and the reason we all love living in New York City.

Every Manhattan neighborhood has a different vibe to it, with different shops, restaurants, cafés and attractions. These neighborhoods are almost all a 20-30 walk within (no stopping), but it might surprise you how easy it is to identify the character of each Manhattan neighborhood as you visit them – and how different things are from one block to the next.
