Broadway in New York City has roared back to life in recent weeks, with onerous mask mandates at theaters finally set aside and Times Square again swarming with pedestrians.
grossed $30.1 million in sales last week, according to the Broadway League, nearly matching the same-week total of $30.6 million in pre-pandemic July 2019. Times Square, the heart of Broadway’s Theater District, welcomed an astounding average of 420,000 pedestrians Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the Times Square Alliance told Fox News Digital. Tourists have flooded back into New York City in recent weeks, as this image captured on Saturday, July 16, shows.
Walking all of Broadway in a single day has become a daring endeavor for both tourists and locals alike — something this reporter actually did recently. Most of Manhattan follows an easy-to-follow grid pattern: low-numbered north-south avenues to the east and low-numbered east-west streets to the south.
Foot traffic has flooded back onto much of Broadway. But the business community still has a long road to recovery. Fort Tryon Park, accessible via Broadway near the northern tip of Manhattan, contains a remarkable attraction called The Cloisters, operated by The Metropolitan Museum Art. Broadway's meandering path through the Manhattan street grid is a legacy of its days as a less structured native use when the shape of the land directed the shape of the road. The northern half of Broadway slices through uptown Manhattan's now mostly Spanish-speaking neighborhoods, such as Washington Heights. This mural is located at the corner of Broadway and West 164th Street, 120 blocks north of Times Square.
The Flatiron Building, considered a marvel of architectural engineering and of the city's most beloved structures, is also on Broadway.
