The Hirschfeld is technically the furthest west of the "Times Square" Houses, being the only one west of 8th Ave.
But it's right off 8th Ave, and is fairly close to subway stops and equidistant as other theaters to Port Authority and since the move to new boarding at Penn Station, may actually be closer to Penn then some of the theaters between 7th and 8th.
The Beaumont and Newhouse are closer to "Broadway" (the street).
At one time, it was expected the theaters would continue to move uptown from Times Square (one of the reasons the Coliseum was built at Columbus Circle), but they never did, so the 41st street to 53rd street theatre district with Broadway as its main north/south iconic road is the one most of us have known most of our lives. |
