MANHATTAN
THE BOROUGH

All the world, monster or human, wishes it could live in New York. All New York wishes it could live in Manhattan. That desire means the end of your world is likely to begin here. Maybe you’ll be there to see it.

Manhattan, a narrow island running mostly north-to-south, is New York’s densest borough. Occupants quickly ran out of lateral expansion space; but the island’s bedrock is ancient, solid schist, ideal for skyscrapers. America’s most extreme income gap lives here: the top 5% of households earns 88 times as much as the poorest 20%. Old-money edifces contrast with immigrant enclaves in a borough that birthed the modern gay rights movement in the Stonewall riots, the War on Terror in the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks, and the Occupy movement in Zuccotti Park.

Here, there’s at least one of everything. Number one international financial center? Wall Street. World’s largest stock exchanges? NASDAQ, NYSE. Black cultural crossroads? Harlem. Labyrinthine metropolitan parkland? Central Park. Ivy League university? Columbia. World government headquarters? United Nations. The Western hemisphere’s densest-packed Chinatown? Canal Street. Hidden underground tunnels? Seven stories of ‘em. Innumerable fictional portrayals? Everything from The Great Gatsby to Shaft.

Manhattan’s population, pulsing culture and nightlife, and subterranean or verdurous hiding places host enough ambient weirdness that no one’s likely to care that you’re staggering around the subway in pajamas, chattering warding incantations as you flee invisible demons you summoned by accident. Hell, someone will probably give you change. But for these same reasons, the supernatural-to-mortal ratio is high enough that even if that frst
subway diabolist doesn’t turn any heads, the eighth that day might not be so lucky. Manhattan walks the line between “occult safe haven” and “catastrophic reveal of the shadow world while the entire globe watches.”
