Bum drained extremely hot brew in NY's skid row (3,6)
I believe the answer is:
the bowery
'ny's skid row' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'bum drained extremely hot brew' is the wordplay.
'bum' is an anagram indicator (bum can mean faulty or wrong).
'drained' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters).
'extremely' with its middle taken out is 'ey'.
'ey'+'hot'+'brew'='eyhotbrew'
'eyhotbrew' is an anagram of 'THE BOWERY'.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for the bowery that I've seen before include "New York street" , "New York locale" , "NY street frequented by tramps" .)
