Uptown Manhattan is one of the most vibrant cultural hubs in the city, home to iconic landmarks like the Apollo Theater, and its waterfronts and lush green spaces are an outdoor enthusiast’s dream.

Congressional District 10 stretches from Brooklyn, hopping through Governor’s Island, and crossing into Manhattan’s uptown Morningside Heights neighborhood. In these communities, even strangers enjoy each others’ camaraderie because of this friendly, community feel. 

Lower Manhattan and western Brooklyn have some of the strongest cultural identities in the city. Home to Chinatown, the city’s Chinese-American population have built strong ties in community and as entrepreneurs, creating small businesses and making their marks as property owners.
