Broadway

百老匯

百老匯大道為紐約市重要的南北向道路,南起巴特里公園,由南向北縱貫曼哈頓島。紐約地鐵百老匯線及紐約地鐵第七大道線均通過此路底下。由于此路兩旁分布著為數(shù)眾多的劇院,是美國戲劇和音樂劇的重要發(fā)揚(yáng)地,因此成為了音樂劇的代名詞。

1百老匯簡介

Broadway, as the name implies, is a wide avenue in New York City, and is the oldest north-south main thoroughfare in the city, dating to the first New Amsterdam settlement。 The name Broadway is an English translation of the Dutch name, Breede weg。 The street is famous as the pinnacle of the American theater industry。

Broadway originated as an Indian trail called the Wickquasgeck Trail, which was carved into the brush land of Manhattan。 This trail originally snaked through swamps and rocks along the length of Manhattan Island。 Upon the arrival of the Dutch, the trail soon became the main road through the island from New Amsterdam at the southern tip。 The Dutch explorer and entrepreneur David de Vries gives the first mention of it in his journal in the year 1642。

Broadway runs the length of Manhattan, being the only street running from almost the southern tip of the island, to the northern tip。 South of Columbus Circle, it is a one-way street with all vehicle traffic traveling southbound。 It crosses Spuyten Duyvil Creek via the Broadway Bridge and continues through the Bronx to Westchester County。

Broadway continues running through several Hudson River towns as U。S。 Route 9, before becoming the “New York-Albany Post Road”, and running through the state capital, Albany, terminating in Champlain, New York at the Canadian border。 Diagonally crossing the Commissioners Plan of 1811 of Manhattan streets, its intersections with avenues have been marked by “squares” and induced some interesting architecture, such as the famous Flatiron Building。
