Park Row (or Newspaper Row) was a street in Manhattan, in New York City. The World Building was located on this street. This street intersected with Lower Broadway.

In The Big Good-Bye, on one New Year's Eve, Detective Jim Tierney had his fellow officers posted at this location. They were to keep the peace and arrest petty criminals and bullies.

Later on, on one night, Tierney left a police station and headed to this street while on assignment to inspect junk shops. While walking down the street, he paused in front of the World Building and watched the commuters heading home. (TNG: "The Big Goodbye")

The pages seen in the episode were actually from the detective novel, The Listening Man, by author John A. Moroso. This novel was published in 1924. Information on Park Row was from pages 178 and 197.
