Origins

Manehattan was among the first non-Ponyville or Canterlot cities mentioned in Friendship is Magic. In the earlier episodes and comics, it was a common running gag to corrupt real world (usually American or Canadian) cities with pony/horse puns, though Manehattan was among the first to have an actual impact of the show. Manehattan is named after Manhattan, though has essentially become a stand in for all of New York City with stand-ins for locations in Brooklyn appearing in Manehattan.
