Empire State Building's locale (9)

I believe the answer is:

manhattan

(Other definitions for manhattan that I've seen before include "New York City borough" , "Cocktail of whiskey and sweet vermouth" , "Vermouth and whiskey, with a dash of bitters" , "intoxicating drink" , "Island of New York - cocktail" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune.
