theater districts
Playhouse neighborhood zones
Theater districts are urban areas where multiple theaters cluster together, typically offering live performances.
Most major cities have one: Broadway in New York, the West End in London.
The concentration creates a destination for theatergoers and shapes surrounding businesses—restaurants, bars, and hotels catering to evening crowds.
We grabbed dinner in the theater district before the show.
