Downtown Manhattan
S1 • E6 Sep 10, 2011
Downtown Manhattan came to life in 1626, and now areas such as Soho, Greenwich Village, Chelsea, and Chinatown are household names. These districts represent the cosmopolitan condensation of NYC and have been influenced by the various waves of immigration and generations of off-beat film lovers, writers and artists. Skyscrapers have sprung up amid old buildings and tiny tree-lined streets.
