Pick 212 for Manhattan, 718 for the other four boroughs, or 917 for anywhere in the city.
Pick 718 if the number should read as Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx or Staten Island.
718 was split from 212 in 1984. 347 and 929 cover the same four boroughs, and all three also reach Marble Hill, a Manhattan neighborhood that the phone network files with them.
Pick 917 if you do not want to say which borough.
917 is the only code that covers all five boroughs, so a 917 number can be anywhere in the city.
