n.y.c. and l.a. are the obvious ones (brooklyn, manhattan, harlem, beverly hills, hollywood, south-central, ...).
i am familiar with boston (back bay, southie, cambridge, andover, wellesley, ...).
philly has west philadelphia (born and raised ...) and south-philly but those have philly in the title so of course theyre recognizable.
Too many to list...Nashville includes 12 South, SoBro, The Gulch, West End, Hillsboro Village, Edge Hill, WeHo, Germantown, East Nashville to name a few. Emerging will likely include River North, Antioch, Brentwood, and Donelson according to the large retail and mixed use developments planned.

Nope. Never heard of any of those. Far from "famous".
Neighborhoods I had heard of in each city before I knew I was going to move there:
DC: Capitol Hill, Chinatown, Georgetown, Chevy Chase, Takoma
Seattle: Queen Anne, Belltown, Denny Triangle, Capitol Hill, Alki, South Lake Union
i actually never heard of these (tacoma - i think seatle -- capitol hll - i think d.c. -- chinatown - i think n.y.c.).
another for d.c. would be arlington.
Famous as in nationally known (or at least widely known regionally):
Chicago has The Loop, Lincoln Park, Magnificent Mile
San Francisco has Haight-Ashbury, Pacific Heights, The Tenderloin, Chinatown
Miami has South Beach
And OP, nobody considers Brooklyn or Manhattan "districts". But there are, of course many very well-know neighborhoods within one of those two boroughs -- Chinatown, Soho, Harlem, Williamsburg, Coney Island, and many more.
NYC & LA are obvious and could have their own thread
New Orleans - French Quarter
Miami - Little Havanna, South Beach (technically not city proper)
Las Vegas - The Strip (technically not city proper)
DC - The Mall, Capitol Hill
Baltimore - Inner Harbor
SF - Chinatown
Chicago - The Loop, Millennium Park, Magnificent Mile
Philly - Center City
Boston - Back Bay, North End
I'm definitely forgetting a few but these are probably the most "poster boy" neighborhoods that are nationally recognizable just by name alone.
