P178.7-13 The taxi stopped on a near empty street just below the pit of
finance and Stak angled his body out the door and jiggled a hand behind him
in an ironic farewell. We watched him enter a loft building where he would
spend the next two hours in a room choked with dust and stink, learning the
principles of jujitsu, a method of artful self-defense predating the
current practice of judo.
It obviously refers to the financial district on Wall Street. In what sense
is the word "pit" used here?
