		Manhattan is connected by bridges and tunnels to New Jersey to the west, and three New York City boroughs: the Bronx to the northeast; Brooklyn and Queens on Long Island to the east and south.

	Lower Manhattan Information - History - Reflections
		Lower Manhattan thus has a different "feel" from the rest of New York, and its streets are typically narrow and short because they were laid out before the 1811 grid was imposed on the rest of the city.
		Second, lower Manhattan had important geographic advantages from 1625 until 1955 as the region's main harbor and for many decades the greatest port in the world.
		If lower Manhattan is to retain its important role in the world economy, it must improve its roads, subways, and rail corridors so that it enjoys a geographic advantage once again.

	Plots & Plans: The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum/Frank Gehry Plan for Lower Manhattan's waterfront (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Manhattan has been a backwater of modern architectural design for more than a generation, indeed, with few exceptions such as the Lever House and the Seagram and Citicorp Center Buildings, and the United Nations complex, and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum on Fifth Avenue since World War II.
		The state of architecture world-wide, indeed, is at an historic high, but Manhattan, despite the presence of many very fine architects, remains a back-water, mired in Not-In-My-Back Yard community activists and virtual design ignorance on the part of most of its political leaders.
		Lower Manhattan was the city's main corporate center until after World War II and the start of a major exodus to midtown and, worse, the suburbs.

		Estimates of the cost to rebuild lower Manhattan range from $20 billion to $50 billion, with the cost to rebuild the World Trade Center alone estimated at over $7 billion.
		Finally, Liberty Bonds used for construction may benefit from the preferential rules afforded to construction financing, so net earnings from investment of bond proceeds during a project's construction period do not have to be rebated to the Treasury Department if the bond proceeds are spent within two years of the issuance of the bonds.
		For example, the use of bond proceeds outside the Liberty Zone is limited to nonresidential real property in New York City which is part of a project consisting of at least 100,000 square feet of office space (although the project may consist of space in multiple buildings).
