You don't know what you're talking about. Manhattan has multiple business areas, not two. Midtown is the largest business area, Lower Manhattan is the third largest business area. But it has one city center.
Anyone who thinks Manhattan has only two business areas, and then points out Midtown and Lower Manhattan, is obviously American and has never been to NYC. They think that "downtown" = "tallest buildings" and since Lower Manhattan and Midtown have the tallest buildings that they are separate downtown.
In NYC, and most of the world, tall buildings have nothing to do with "city core". SoHo is lowrise and much more "prime" than Lower Manhattan, with much higher office rents. There's more office space in the neighborhoods north of Lower Manhattan than in Lower Manhattan itself.
No, just lived here half my life. Only have a Masters in Urban Planning, two Ivy League degrees and have had multiple jobs shaping the local cityscape, in both public and private sector.
Well now you know. Harlem is definitely in NYC's core. Manhattan is considered the region's core.
In the NYC context, Brooklyn is downtown and Bronx is uptown.
In the U.S. context, Brooklyn and Bronx are non-core urban neighborhoods, outside the downtown. Manhattan is the regional core, and everything outside Manhattan is outside the core.

Manhattan is to the tri-state area, what central LA is to the Los Angeles basin.
Not at all. You can use 5 counties vs L.A county alone but than you guys still cry about the sq miles when i already broke that down !!!
The mountains & desert cover thousands of miles of land where there's absolutely no population of people.
I mean you can't have it both ways.
What are you going on about? I think it should go by the urban / metropolitan area. I've been pretty clear about why that's the most reasonable choice.
LA has the larger film and television production/studios, but NYC has the larger media influence since it has a good portion of that while also having a far greater prevalence in journalism and publishing of all kinds in addition to actually being headquarters of many of the companies which own those LA film and television production houses.
NYC is obviously far more important in virtually every other industry.
NYC is in a league of its own even on the world stage
