"'Broadway' was named after the avenue in New York City; partly as a place-name, and partly because it also reads: broad way. Wall was named after Wall Street, where there was once a wall, running from Broadway to the East River. The North River is another name for the Hudson River which runs parallel to Broadway and is also a broad way, but blue." Ellsworth Kelly
