"Downtown" in NYC is extremely nuanced. In Manhattan and the Bronx it's used in place of "south" as a cardinal direction. Most people probably refer to the "downtown" region of Manhattan as "lower Manhattan" to avoid misinterpretation. Some people may even consider up to 14th Street as "downtown" but this isn't the same as lower Manhattan, which is mostly south of Chambers Street. To complicate it even more, when you say "downtown" in Brooklyn it almost always refers to downtown Brooklyn.
But in the context of this discussion, "downtown" means Midtown Manhattan.
