Manhattan

Location from Percy Jackson by Rick Riordan

Percy Jackson's home turf — where the Empire State Building hides Mount Olympus, monsters roam Central Park, and demigod battles happen on the Brooklyn Bridge.

Manhattan is ground zero for the Riordanverse — the crossroads where mortal and divine New York overlap like a double-exposed photograph. Mount Olympus sits atop the Empire State Building. Sally Jackson's apartment is a subway ride from the entrance to the gods' realm. Percy grew up here, fighting monsters on school field trips and dodging Furies on the bus. The Battle of Manhattan — where Kronos invaded with his Titan army and Percy's outnumbered forces defended Olympus block by block — devastated the city across several days of combat that the mortals blamed on freak storms and gas leaks.

Appearance

Modern New York City with a supernatural overlay — the Mist hides monsters among the pedestrians, divine architecture gleams between skyscrapers, and Percy's apartment is a short subway ride from the entrance to Olympus.
