Manhattan
Manhattan, known regionally as The City,[1] is the most densely populated and
geographically smallest of the five boroughs of New York City. It is the urban core of the
New York metropolitan area, and coextensive with New York County, one of the original
counties of the U.S. state of New York. Manhattan serves as the city's economic and
administrative center, cultural identifier,[8] and historical birthplace.[9] The borough
consists mostly of Manhattan Island, bounded by the Hudson, East, and Harlem rivers
along with several small adjacent islands, including Roosevelt, U Thant, and Randalls
and Wards Islands. Manhattan additionally contains Marble Hill, a small neighborhood
now on the U.S. mainland, separated from the rest of Manhattan by the Harlem Ship
Canal and later connected using landfill to the Bronx. Manhattan Island is divided into
three informally bounded components, each cutting across the borough's long axis:
Lower, Midtown, and Upper Manhattan.

Manhattan has been described as the cultural, financial, media, and entertainment
capital of the world, is considered a safe haven for global real estate investors,
and hosts the United Nations headquarters.
Brooklyn
Brooklyn is a borough of New York City, coextensive with Kings County, in the U.S.
state of New York. Kings County is the most populous county in the State of New
York, and the second-most densely populated county in the United States, behind
New York County (Manhattan).[5] Brooklyn is also New York City's most populous
borough,[6] with 2,736,074 residents in 2020.[1] If each borough were ranked as a
city, Brooklyn would rank as the third-most populous in the U.S., after Los Angeles
and Chicago.
Brooklyn
Named after the Dutch village of Breukelen,
it is located on the western end of Long
Island and shares a land border with the
borough of Queens. Brooklyn has several
bridge and tunnel connections to the
borough of Manhattan across the East
River and the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge
connects it with Staten Island. With a land
area of 70.82 square miles (183.4 km2)
and a water area of 26 square miles (67
km2), Kings County is the state of New
York's fourth-smallest county by land area
and third-smallest by total area.
