About New York City

New York City comprises 5 boroughs sitting where the Hudson River meets the Atlantic Ocean.

At its core is Manhattan, a densely populated borough that’s among the world’s major commercial, financial and cultural centers.

While Manhattan and Staten Island are islands, Brooklyn and Queens are geographically part of Long Island, and the Bronx is attached to the US mainland. …

Manhattan Island is roughly 13.4 miles long and about 2.3 miles wide at its widest.
