Manhattan

Whiskey vermouth cocktail

Manhattan is the most densely populated borough of New York City, occupying an island at the mouth of the Hudson River.

It serves as the city's commercial and cultural heart, home to Wall Street, Broadway, and Central Park.

A Manhattan is also a cocktail of whiskey, sweet vermouth, and bitters: She ordered a Manhattan, up with a cherry.
