  42nd Street (Manhattan) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
42nd Street is a major crosstown street in the New York City borough of Manhattan, known for its theaters, especially near the intersection with Broadway at Times Square.

Still, by 1890 the rails had played a key role in helping to bring Manhattan's population farther northward, which in turn helped speculators develop raw land into livable real estate, so much so that by the end of that year, the average Manhattanite was clocking almost three hundred mass-transit trips a year.
His first choice was a site a few doors up the street, but when the offered rents were suddenly and, to him, suspiciously jacked up, he made a bold and, to some, incomprehensibly risky decision to move uptown to Long Acre Square, what was then the northern end of the city's business district.
