Iron Fist is, of course, set in New York City, but right from the off there's a clear difference to Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage. While the first two explored the seedy underbelly of Hell's Kitchen, and the latter took things north to Harlem, this is very much a recognisable version of Manhattan, likely around the Financial District.

It's a good way of keeping the shows in the same city but also giving them a fresh aesthetic, and, of course, means Danny Rand gets some unwanted attention. A man walking around barefoot in some bedraggled clothing might not get attention in other areas of NYC, but in this affluent, suited-up part, he's clearly marked out as different.
