Lower Manhattan

Lower Manhattan describes the southernmost part of the island of Manhattan, the main island and center of business and government of the City of New York. Generally defined as the area delineated on the north by Chambers Street, on the west by the North River (Hudson River) on the east by the East River, and on the south by Battery Park and New York Harbor, also known as Upper New York Bay. Lower Manhattan includes City Hall, the Municipal Building, the Financial District and the site of the World Trade Center. It is the third largest central business district in the United States, after Midtown Manhattan and Chicago's Loop.
