Is "and the like" pronounced as /ən ðə laik/?

At present, Kabukicho has transformed from a residential area to a world famous red-light district housing over three thousand bars, nightclubs, love hotels, massage parlours, hostess clubs and the like. Although referred here as a "red light district", there are no red lights in the literal sense with prostitutes in the windows as in Amsterdam. Recently, tourism from China and Korea are on the rise, and so, many tourists can be seen in Kabukicho even during daytime.

n ð? laik/? You could say it like that, but I would use the full vowel for 'and', possibly even including the /d/ very softly — a sort of unreleased /d/.
