The Theater District, as its name suggests, is the center of performing arts in New York City. The area centers on the convergence of Broadway with 7th Avenue.

The birth of the Theater District can be traced to the arrival of the Metropolitan Opera House to the intersection between Broadway and 40th Street in 1883. It attracted other theaters and restaurants to open in its vicinity. The neon lights along this stretch of Broadway gave the street the nickname, "Great White Way", making the very name Broadway synonymous with the entertainment industry.

The Theater District lost much of its glitter after World War II, and by the 1970's had become a rather seedy neighborhood. Recent redevelopment projects are aimed at revitalizing the neighborhood and bringing back the general public.

About this website



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
