Manhattan

Ahhh, New York City. Well, Manhattan specifically, one of New York"s five boroughs. This aerial view is of lower Manhattan, what New Yorkers consider the heart of the city. That"s New Jersey sparkling across the Hudson River in the distance. And that"s the Brooklyn Bridge pictured at the bottom, linking the island of Manhattan to the borough of Brooklyn.
