Tip:
Try to see Broadway at night, when the lights are on.
Theater District
It was the move by the Metropolitan Opera House to Broadway in 1883 that
first drew lavish theaters and restaurants to this area. In the 1920s, movie
palaces added the glamour of neon to Broadway. After World War II, the
popularity of movies waned and sleaze replaced glitter. Now a redevelop-
ment program has brought the public and bright lights back to this area.
