theater district
Where shows cluster
A theater district is an area of a city where theaters are concentrated, typically featuring playhouses, concert halls, and related entertainment venues.
The term often appears capitalized when referring to specific neighborhoods known for live performance, most famously New York's Broadway area: We're staying near the theater district.
Such districts usually anchor surrounding restaurants, bars, and nightlife.
