### Starting Locations
Manhattan
The center of power, wealth, and influence. Wall Street drives financial ambition, Broadway fuels entertainment, and beneath it all, Prohibition-era crime operates behind closed doors. Manhattan offers access to high society, business, and the hidden networks that control the city.
Harlem
The cultural heart of the era, shaped by the Harlem Renaissance. Jazz, art, and nightlife define the neighborhood, alongside strong community ties and underlying economic pressure. Harlem offers music, identity, and a rapidly evolving social landscape.
Hell’s Kitchen
A working-class neighborhood defined by poverty, gangs, and proximity to the docks. Violence is common, and survival often depends on reputation and connections. This is a raw, street-level environment where crime and daily life are closely intertwined.
The Bronx
A growing, more stable borough offering a slower pace of life compared to Manhattan. Home to families and working-class communities, with connections to the wider city still present. Landmarks like Yankee Stadium bring energy and shared culture, while quieter forms of opportunity and conflict exist beneath the surface.
