New York City has eight million residents, but the big city can also be seen as a collection of small towns jammed together, neighborhoods that each have their own flavor, culture, and name. Redditor bigchunguslolfunny constructed an interactive map labeling those neighborhoods. You can zoom in and out, and click on a colored unit to find out the name of the neighborhood.
Of course, defining a neighborhood is difficult, as they came into their current form unofficially over time. Quite a few of them are small neighborhoods within larger neighborhoods. Their borders are fluid, and even next door neighbors may disagree on what to call their corner of the city. You can read some of the clarifications in the discussion at reddit.

It's called Flushing, and it's much bigger than Chinatown.

New York is fascinating because of the the "Neighborhoods" shift so quickly based on who moves in at any given times. While the original neighborhoods on this map were set long ago some demographics have changed a lot. There is just as big of China Town in Queens even if it's not marked down on any map and new cultural areas seem to spring up all the time. The city is an ever living tapestry of change and vibrancy.
