New York's Radio Row ( 1921 – 1966 ) was a warehouse district on the Lower West Side of Manhattan, New York City.

Harry Schneck opened City Radio on Cortlandt Street in 1921, creating Radio Row.

Radio Row was torn down in 1966 to make room for the World Trade Center.

The New York Times made an early reference to " Radio Row " in 1927, when Cortlandt Street celebrated a " Radio Jubilee ".

The Times reported that " Today ... Cortlandt Street is ' Radio Row ,' while Broadway is just a thoroughfare.

Meyer Berger recalled that, as a child, " On Saturday mornings, I used to venture from Brooklyn with my father to Radio Row on Cortlandt Street in Lower Manhattan, where he and hundreds of other New York men moved from stall to stall in search of the elusive tube that would make the radio work again.

Radio Row was a piece of all our interior maps.

In 1930, the Times described Radio Row as located on Greenwich Street " where Cortlandt Street intersects it and the Ninth Avenue Elevated forms a canopy over the roadway ....

The largest concentration is in the block bounded by Dey Street on the north and Cortlandt on the south, but Radio Row does not stop there ; it overflows around the corner, around several corners, embracing in all some five crowded blocks.

There may be regulations prohibiting this vociferous practice, but if the radio dealers have anything to say it about it, it will never have the slightest effect along Radio Row ....

World War II was unkind to Radio Row, and in 1944 the Times lamented that the " one-time repository of nearly everything from a tube socket to a complete radio station " was " bargainless and practically setless, too, due to wartime scarcities " but that it still catered to " tinkerers and engineers " and that an " old spirit " and " magical quality " were still there.

" Radio Row rebounded.

A large black-and-white photo mural of Radio Row can be viewed at the World Trade Center PATH station.

Major firms that started on New York's Radio Row include Arrow Electronics, Avnet, and Schweber Electronics.

In 1923, The Boston Globe reported that a section of the North End had been dubbed " Radio Row " because of the large number of radio antennas being installed in that neighborhood.
