Great White Way

Where it comes from

So called from its brilliant illumination at night.

proper noun the Great White Way

  1. archaic, literary Broadway, in New York City, in the neighborhood chiefly occupied by theaters. But Broadway's economic survival would be a Pyrrhic victory of sorts if artistic invention is slowly leached out in an attempt to make the Great White Way a New York outpost of the theme park–ing of America.
