Wikipedia: Broadway (Manhattan)
Broadway (/ˈbrɔːdweɪ/) is a road in the U.S. state of New York. Broadway runs from State Street at Bowling Green for 13 mi (21 km) through the borough of Manhattan and 2 mi (3.2 km) through the Bronx, exiting north from the city to run an additional 18 mi (29 km) through the municipalities of Yonkers, Hastings-On-Hudson, Dobbs Ferry, Irvington, and Tarrytown, and terminating north of Sleepy Hollow in Westchester County.
(...)
Broadway in Manhattan is known widely as the heart of the American commercial theatrical industry, and is used as a metonym for it, as well as in the names of alternative theatrical ventures such as Off-Broadway and Off-off-Broadway.

With all the pedestrian seating areas and bike lanes on Broadway now, maybe they should rename it to Narroway.

Why is there a Broadway in every city? Where is the Narrowway? I want to see a wide city boulevard ironically named NARROWWAY! #twodubs

For something called “Broadway” you’d think it would be easier to get into. They should call it narrowway to be honest
