Strivers Row
Under "Harlem," is the name "Strivers Row" really defunct? The name is used to refer to the elegant strip of brownstones and clubs along Frederick Douglass Boulevard (universally called Eighth Avenue) around the 140s (probably from 135 St. to the low 150s) where the Harlem politicos and intelligentsia live. I won't delete "defunct" immediately, but will wait for a discussion on this point.
It would be a good thing if somebody can find or create a map of Manhattan's neighborhood, mainly famous one such as the Lower east Side, Greenwich Village ?--Revas 8 July 2005 17:56 (UTC)
I have a list of the street coordinates of these neighborhoods I think will be helpful in this case. I'll put it up, but be warned -- this will be a drastic edit to this page!--gwc04:43, 19 November 2006 (UTC) (Note, I only used information consolidated from other wikipedia pages.)[reply]
good job reorganising the page! Where did you get the list from? I have attempted a map from an old 1920 map of Manhattan using the information on the neighborhood articles. wasn't sure how best to show so many overlapping neighborhoods so I did them as outlines. please forgive any mistakes as the notion of neighborhoods is very inexact, and having been there only once my knowledge of NYC is not so great. --Astrokey4422:01, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It's great how the neighborhoods are listed from north to south. Last time I saw this page they were listed alphabetically, which confused me somewhat - it's not the way I usually think of neighborhoods; sort of like asking someone to list the months of the year alphabetically. - Matthew23807:53, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Neighborhood naming convention
In case anyone hadn't noticed, Wikipedia:Communities strawpoll is voting on a uniform naming convention for all neighborhoods of U.S. cities. The proposition currently leading by a wide margin would apparently entail renaming most New York City neighborhood articles to something like neighborhood, New York, New York. older ≠ wiser19:02, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I wasn't involved in this (now inactive) strawpoll, but from what I read, I think it refers to actual neighborhoods, and not a general list of neighborhoods.
That said, my opinion is that this article as named ("List of Manhattan neighborhoods") is extremely difficult to find, even impossible for actual people (perhaps unfamiliar to Wikipedia) just looking for a list of Manhattan neighborhoods.
I would prefer a name as simple and intuitive as possible, perhaps Manhattan neighborhoods. However, the current name is acceptable as long as the necessary redirects exist.
I'm confused (and perhaps a history lesson is in order). On the map of the Manhattan neighborhoods, Little Italy shown to be downtown, inside the area marked as Chinatown. However, on the base map ("Chief Points of Interest in Upper/Lower Manhattan") there is a "Little Italy" label inside the area now marked as "Spanish Harlem." Why the discrepency?

While I am no expert, I live in "Little Constance" but have never heard of my street being called that. A message board of locals also has not heard of that name. And a further search of the Web for LC only turns up sites that cite a now-removed Wikipedia quote "lately became known as little constance". I propose removal of that neighborhood from the list. (The term "Little Constance" was added in the 04:44, 28 November 2006 version.)

I think the made-up neighborhood issue is problematic for this article. Also, I think it's important keep in mind what a neighborhood is when adding information. There have been entries which state that a street (Korea Way in Korea Town) or stand alone building (Ansonia) is a neighborhood when a bit of research will show that they are not. Wikipedia is not a place to try and promote a new neighborhood name either, as was the case with "Little Constance" and "Hudson". If these areas in question are or have become neighborhoods, then some references would be great when including the information.Eatabullet (talk) 03:32, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Map add on
Why does the map of Manhattan end with Harlem? The Island of Manhattan continues with more neighborhoods (Washington Heights, Fort George and Inwood) can someone add these neighborhoods to the map. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MrMafiaNostra (talk • contribs) 16:04, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
