NYC Legend: A sculpture paying tribute to the urban legend of alligators in the NYC Sewers and the resilience of New Yorkers

Janes Walk

Led By Alexander Klingspor

This talk is about a specific sculpture located in Union Square presented by the artist himself, Alexander Klingspor. Attendees will meet Mr. Klingspor by the sculpture and hear the story of the artwork which pays tribute to the beloved century old urban legend of alligators in the sewers of the greatest city in the world – New York. We will not be walking around as the focus is solely on the iconic sculpture and its remarkable history that has been part of New York folklore for decades.
