The following code initializes a leaflet map. The initialize function centers the map based on user location. How do I change the center of the map to a new position after calling the initialize function?

function initialize() {
map = L.map('map');
L.tileLayer('http://{s}.tile.cloudmade.com/BC9A493B41014CAABB98F0471D759707/997/256/{z}/{x}/{y}.png', {
    maxZoom: 18,

}).addTo(map);

map.locate({setView: true, maxZoom: 8});    
}

For example:

map.panTo(new L.LatLng(40.737, -73.923));
