Manhattan is well-known for being probably the most stylish and sophisticated part of America with a strong economy and a vibrant culture. This is one of the wealthiest parts of the United States as the per capita income is staggering at more than 100,000 dollars per person.

It is also the home of Wall Street and the New York Stock Exchange which in turn has led to many companies and media outlets forming their base here. That is why Manhattan is famous for its fantastic shopping and restaurants. It had provided the backdrop for hundreds of films and TV series making Manhattan one of the world's most desired all destinations for many people.
