Manhattan is the energetic heart of New York City — a compact, walkable base of world‑class restaurants, museums, theaters, parks and fitness options that make multiweek stays endlessly interesting and easy to fill with after‑work plans. Reliable 24/7 transit, varied neighborhoods from Midtown to the Village, and abundant cafés/co‑working spots let you balance clinical shifts with a rich social and cultural life.
Quick trips to nearby Brooklyn (vibrant food, nightlife and creative scenes) and Jersey City (waterfront dining, bars and fast PATH commutes) add even more variety within minutes.
