In New York City, the region which is the
center of the night life of fashionable amusement, including the
majority of the theaters, etc., centering on Broadway. The term orig.
designates the old twenty-ninth police precinct, in this region, which
afforded the police great opportunities for profit through conniving
at vice and lawbreaking, one captain being reported to have said on
being transferred there that whereas he had been eating chuck steak he
would now eat tenderlion. Hence, in some other cities, a district
largely devoted to night amusement, or, sometimes, to vice.
