where was tin pan alley in new york city?
west 28th street
in the late part of the century the group of music publishers and songwriters which dominated popular music in the united states became known as tin pan alley. the name originally referred to a specific place: west 28th street between fifth and sixth avenue in manhattan, and a plaque (see below) on the sidewalk on 28th street between broadway and sixth commemorates it. the start of tin pan alley is usually dated to about 1885, when a number of music publishers set up shop in the same district of manhattan. the end of tin pan alley is less clear-cut. some date it to the start of the great depression in the 1930s when the phonograph and radio supplanted sheet music as the driving force of american popular music, while others consider tin pan alley to have continued into the 1950s when earlier styles of american popular music were upstaged by the rise of rock & roll.
