This genre is generally associated with the club scene of New York City.
-
A television or film storyline: The phrase can also refer to a narrative trope, particularly in crime dramas or police procedurals, where the setting is New York City and the storyline focuses on the daily experiences and cases handled by police officers or detectives patrolling the city's "beat" - their assigned patrol area.
-
