Prince Street is a local station on the New York City Subway's BMT Broadway Line. A renovation in 2001 restored the original name tablet mosaics and tile band. Each platform contains a fare control area and there are no other exits nor any crossovers or crossunders to allow free transfers between opposite directions.

The 2004 artwork, Carrying On, is by Janet Zweig. It uses water jet-cut steel, marble, and slate to create a mural along the entire length (totaling 1,200 feet) of both platforms. The 194 different frames in this frieze detail contain images of New Yorkers from all walks of life. As the title suggests, almost all of the images involve carrying something.
