    • Abstract:
      Broadway is a street in New York City, New York. The thoroughfare is older than the United States of America, having been an American Indian trail before European explorers arrived on the island of Manhattan during the sixteenth century. The Dutch widened it near their settlements, and its traffic increased significantly as New York grew.
