New York City.The capital of finance and entertainment. A big metropolitan city. Therefore, this salsa guide will bring the “salsa” in Manhattan only.

Manhattan hosts the seat of city government and a large portion of the area’s employment, business, and entertainment activities. As a result, residents of New York City’s other boroughs such as Brooklyn and Queens often refer to a trip to Manhattan as “going to the city”.
