Mallhattan Edit Meaning

1.

What Manhattan has become since the Giuliani era... Little more than corporate outposts, a Starbuck's on every corner, and a place of employment for all those who commute from the other four boroughs.

In Mallhattan, we have a K-Mart just off the subway in the East Village; a Home Depot in Chelsea; an IKEA threatening to wipe out Red Hook in Brooklyn; and a Barnes & Noble or Borders replacing every cool bookstore you ever visited.
