Continuing from Part 1, at https://gothamhistory.com/2015/06/08/street-names-changed-or-now-obsolete/. So many tales lurk herein, but let’s focus briefly on Tin Pan Alley, a neighborhood centered on  West 28th Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues. Known for the large collection of songwriters and publishers who congregated in the area, as Don Jensen has written in “A Base Ball Krank’s Guide to Madison Square” (Base Ball: A Journal of the Early Game, 2014):

[Tin Pan Alley] dominated popular music in the United States from the 1890s to the 1920s. (The name may have derived from a reference by Harry Von Tilzer in the New York Herald to the sound made by the thin, tinny tone quality of the cheap pianos [offered] in music publishers’ offices.) …. George Gershwin, Jerome Kern, and Irving Berlin, along with many others, began their careers on the “Street of Songs.” But other kinds of businesses also practiced their trades there. In addition to Miss Flippeny’s, the building at 57 West 28th was a gambling den. For a time during the 1890s, Thomas Edison’s office for moving pictures was at No. 43, where he reportedly shot film on the roof. The New York Clipper, America’s first newspaper devoted to sports and entertainment, including baseball, had its offices at No. 47, not far from the William Morris Talent Agency (though the Clipper’s original offices were downtown).

Tin Pan Alley will be found on no map of New York City streets, but Tin Pot Alley, whose existence clearly was invoked by the music folk. Running from 59 Greenwich to 91 Trinity Place, it was the former name of Exchange Alley and was also known as Oyster Pasty Alley. This name was commonly applied to a locality on the shore of the North river, opposite the present Exchange Place. A fortification at the end of this small lane, leading from Broadway west (now a part of Exchange Place) was known as the “Pasty Mount.” Charles Hemstreet wrote, in Nooks and Crannies of Old New York (1899):

There is a rift in the walls between the tall buildings at No. 55 Broadway,  near Rector Street, a cemented way that is neither alley nor street. It was a green lane before New Amsterdam became New York, and for a hundred years has been called Tin Pot Alley. With the growth of the city the little lane came near being crowded out, and the name, not being of proper dignity, would be forgotten but for a terra cotta tablet fixed in a building at its entrance. This was placed there by Rev. Morgan Dix, the pastor of Trinity Church.

Jensen observed that while Tin Pan Alley was always a place though never in one location, “a commemorative plaque is embedded on the sidewalk on East 29th Street just east of Broadway, where it is mostly unnoticed except perhaps for street vendors, pedestrians, and construction workers trying to restore the neighborhood to its former gritty charm.”
