Manhattan is the borough most closely associated with New York City by non-residents; residents within the [[New York City metropolitan area]], including New York City's boroughs outside Manhattan, will often describe a trip to Manhattan as "going to the City".<ref>Purdum, Todd S.

Manhattan has been the scene of many important global and American cultural movements. The [[Harlem Renaissance]] in the 1920s established the African-American literary canon in the United States and introduced writers [[Langston Hughes]] and [[Zora Neale Hurston]]. Manhattan's visual art scene in the 1950s and 1960s was a center of the [[pop art]] movement, which gave birth to such giants as [[Jasper Johns]] and [[Roy Lichtenstein]]. The downtown pop art movement of the late 1970s included artist [[Andy Warhol]] and clubs like [[Serendipity 3]] and [[Studio 54]], where he socialized.

Broadway theater is considered the highest professional form of theater in the United States. Plays and [[musical theater|musicals]] are staged in one of the 39 larger professional theaters with at least 500 seats, almost all in and around Times Square. [[Off-Broadway]] theaters feature productions in venues with 100–500 seats.<ref>Weber, Bruce. [http://theater2.nytimes.com/mem/theater/treview.html "Critic's Notebook: Theater's Promise?
