Broadway

Major avenue in New York running northwest from the tip of Manhattan and crossing Times Square at 42nd Street, at the heart of the theatre district, where Broadway is known as ‘the Great White Way’. New York theatres situated outside this area are described as off-Broadway; those even smaller and farther away are off-off-Broadway, the home of avant-garde and experimental works.

Broadway
