New York City. Specifically, the borough of Manhattan.

Interesting fact - if you count the number of clicks on a rotary-dial telephone, New York City's 212 is the lowest area code (and thereby easiest to dial on a rotary phone). From 1947 until 1984, 212 was the area code for all of New York City.

New York City area codes Area code 212 and overlay code 646 serve Manhattan.

Area code 718 and overlay codes 347 and 929serve the other 4 boroughs (Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, Staten Island).

Area code 917 serves all five boroughs.
