Broadway, Between 41st Street & 36th Street

Flowing down the middle of Broadway between 37th and 38th Street is Nymph Pond, a block long mural by artist Carla Torres, part of this summer's Urban Garden.

Carla Torres’ mural was inspired by the Nymph Pond, a small pond in the Galapagos Islands, where she would visit when seeking peace and contemplation.
