The Deuce

1. 42nd St, Forty Deuce (42), or just the deuce meaning two.

At the peak of the most infamous period in its history during the 1970s 42nd St (as well as the number two train which ran directly beneath Times Square) was referred to as 'The Deuce' or The Beast by police and criminals alike, notorious for its crime.
