To out-of-staters: New York, or New York City. Sometimes I explicitly use the former to test their awareness of the rest of the state.
To in-staters: New York City, or (where the context is clear) the City.
To NYCers: Manhattan, or the Upper West Side, depending on how specific an answer I think they're seeking. If probed further I'll give street coordinates. (Through this procedure I once discovered that I had been introducing myself to the mother of a high school classmate -- long after we had graduated and about 230 miles away. "Oh, you live in the large building at [insert street corner]? Do you know [so and so]?" "Yes, he's my son.")
