"A fire alley you can walk down"

Shubert Alley is a little pedestrian alley that runs along the back of Shubert Theatre. It used to be a fire lane for the Shubert and Booth theatres and Astor Hotel around the turn of the 20th century as law dictated they had one. Then, the Shuberts rented it from the Astors to use as their personal alley. It became a public alley a few decades later and boasted a lot of little shops and a waiting place for actors waiting to audition for a show in the theatre. Nowadays, it's a little alley that's not particularly crowded considering its location. It has a gift shop that used to be a Booth theatre dressing room. It is still a fire alley for the Shubert, but you can walk down it to gain access to the theatre. You can't live here and there's not much to see but it's a fun little stretch of history.
Pros

"Nothing Sings Broadway More Than Schubert Alley"

Shubert Alley is located right in the middle of New York's Theater district. Schubet Alley connects 44th and 45th street between 8th Ave and Broadway. Shubert alley is home to the famous Schubert Theater site of the long running play "A Chorus Line". In addtion to the Schubert, Schubert alley is home to the Booth Theater and a really great theater memorabilia store One Shubert Place. Not only is Shubert Alley home to 2 great theaters but is the location of a variety of different festivals. For example the Great Broadway Flea Market is held in the alley every year.
