About This Location
NYC's most notorious concert saloon and dance hall — a three-story den of gambling, boxing, dancing, and 'ladies of the night' in the heart of the Tenderloin. In Season 3 Episode 5 ('A Different World'), Larry Russell drags Jack Trotter here under the pretense of a bachelor dinner at Delmonico's. Inside, Larry spots Maud Beaton — Oscar's ex who swindled him — working the floor. She denies being herself. Marian later discovers the deception, triggering serious drama. Director Deborah Kampmeier described the set as featuring women boxers, bearded ladies, gambling, and dancing.
The Haymarket was demolished after closing in 1911. The site is now part of the NoMad neighborhood — the Virgin Hotels New York City at 1225 Broadway (opened 2023) occupies the block. A historical plaque at 135 W 29th St commemorates the original venue.
Exact historical address well-documented: 66 West 30th Street at Sixth Avenue. Operated c.1872–1911 in the Tenderloin district.
