Broadway is a street best known for the portion that runs through the borough of Manhattan in New York City, it runs 15 miles through Manhattan and The Bronx, exiting north from the city to run an additional 18 miles through the municipalities of Yonkers, Hastings-On-Hudson, Dobbs Ferry, Irvington, Tarrytown and terminating north of Sleepy Hollow in Westchester County.

Broadway was originally the Wickquasgeck Trail, carved into Manhattan by its Native American inhabitants. This trail originally snaked through swamps and rocks along the length of Manhattan Island. It is the oldest north–south main thoroughfare in New York City, dating to the first New Amsterdam settlement. The name Broadway is the English literal translation of the Dutch name, Breede weg.

Fairies Are Real. Once upon a time, and not a great while ago either, there lived in the city of New York ...

The Irish word for fairy is sheehogue \sidhe6g\ a diminutive of "shee" in banshee. Fairies are deenee shee [daotne sidhe] (fairy people).

Who are they ?" Fallen angels who were not good enough to be saved, nor bad enough to be lost," say the peasantry. "The gods of the earth," says the Book of Armagh. "The gods of pagan Ireland," say the Irish antiquarians, "the Tuatha De Dandn, who, when no longer worshipped and fed with offerings, dwindled away in the popular imagination, and now are only a few spans high."
