Steadies drunk in Manhattan precinct (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
east side
'manhattan precinct' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'steadies drunk' is the wordplay.
'drunk' indicates an anagram.
'steadies' is an anagram of 'EAST SIDE'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
