{{en|'''[[:en:Lower Manhattan|Lower Manhattan]]''' (or '''downtown Manhattan''') is the southernmost part of the island of [[:en:Manhattan|Manhattan]], the main island and center of business and government of the [[:en:New York City|City of New York]]. Lower Manhattan or "downtown" is defined most commonly as the area delineated on the north by [[:en:14th Street (Manhattan)|14th Street]], on the west by the [[:en:Hudson River|Hudson River]], on the east by the [[:en:East River|East River]], and on the south by [[:en:New York Harbor|New York Harbor]] (also known as [[:en:Upper New York Bay|Upper New York Bay]]).
