Trivia: Where was the first Broadway theater?
Times Square
East Village
Financial District
Hell’s Kitchen
The correct answer is Financial District
So why is this answer correct? : New York City’s Broadway history began in a 280-person theater on Nassau Street in the Financial District, near the southern tip of Manhattan. This theater saw everything from Shakespearian plays to ballad operas, although performances took a back seat during the Revolutionary War. In 1798, the 2,000-seat Park Theater opened its doors; this playhouse was also in the Financial District.
