Population density is only relative to the size of the city. Look at Paris. One could argue that it's more dense than NYC. Are we to disregard smaller cities simply because they don't have the population of NYC/other world cities?
Can you find me any city in the world on Wikipedia more densely packed than 69,000/sq mile ?
Seoul South Korea shows 42,000 per sq mile which is more than the other boroughs except Manhattan
Tokyo population density is equal to Brooklyn
Even Hong Kong and Calcutta aren’t as a whole as densely packed as Manhattan?
Find me a Wikipedia location more densely packed with people than Manhattan
I'm sure you can find parts of cities that are as densely packed as Manhattan, just like Manhattan serves as a part of a city that meets this definition.
Kowloon in Hong Kong appears to have a density of ~123,700 ppsm (density of 47,748 per square km). It's population of over 2.2M also makes it more populous than Manhattan.

I think Manila is officially the most densely populated city in the world with well over 100,000( maybe 125,000)/sq mile. Other Philippine cities are also up there near 100,000/sq mile. Mumbai,India and Baghdad,Iraq are also way up there.
And you can't cherry pick the most dense area of a city and then compare it to other entire cities because if the entire city of Manilla has 100,000/sq mile there are probably sections of Manila that are much,much higher in density. Same for many other cities.
So, I don't think Manhattan density sets any record except for the U.S. There are probably dozens of sections cities around the world with much higher density than Manhattan.
And Guttenberg,New Jersey ( not NYC or Chicago or L.A ) s the most densely populated city in the U.S.

You are a testament to NYC teachers
Guttenberg, NJ is the most densely populated city in the United States. Majority of the population of Guttenberg lives in the Galaxy Towers on Boulevard East. Otherwise its a very small city, its like 10 blocks by 4 blocks.

It’s fun to imagine if the entire US population were condensed into a square of land as densely populated as Manhattan it would fit everyone inside a square of 70 miles long and 70 miles wide which would be like half of only the state of Connecticut plus NYC containing all of the USA ... so the rest of the land of America could be completely reforested.
Now if we wanted to contain the entire world’s population we would need a space roughly 320 miles by 320 miles and that would be most of the Northeast from NYC up to the Canadian border, containing all of New England. Majority of Up state NY, and majority of Pennsylvania... all filled with a population density of Manhattan without fail. You can fit the whole human population of the world into the Northeast USA crammed over the Adirondacks, Allegheny, finger lake, Berkshires, conjoined with Boston
The Chinatown section of this square would be a massive chunk of that endless square of never ending streets and avenues

That will not work in our capitalist society
