You meet beside the bronze of George M. Cohan and the city’s neon takes a breath — lights leaning in, traffic murmuring like a restless audience. For 90 minutes a small group threads the blocks of Broadway: under marquee arcs, down the narrow drama of Shubert Alley, and into the quieter lobbies where plaster angels still watch opening nights.

Wildlife
History
Broadway grew as a theater district in the early 1900s; the Shubert brothers and producers concentrated stages within a few blocks, creating the commercial hub we recognize today.
Conservation
The theater district relies on public transit and pedestrian flows — favoring mass transit over cars reduces street congestion and supports local small businesses; please avoid littering in historic lobbies.
