A meeting place, in a way (6)

I believe the answer is:

avenue

'a way' is the definition.
(I know that Avenue is a type of Road)

'a meeting place' is the wordplay.
'meeting place' becomes 'venue' (place for a meeting).
'a'+'venue'='AVENUE'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for avenue that I've seen before include "Wide (tree-lined) street" , "Double row of trees" , "Tree-lined approach to a house" , "Road lined with trees" , "A broad wide street" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
