Columbus Circle

"Columbus Circle, located at the southwestern corner of Central Park in Manhattan, is a lively and picturesque intersection that serves as a major transportation and commercial hub. The circle is named after Christopher Columbus and is renowned for its grand monument featuring a statue of Columbus himself. Surrounding the circle is a mix of upscale retail spaces, dining options, and cultural attractions. The Time Warner Center, with its high-end shops and restaurants, provides a modern contrast to the historic charm of the area. Additionally, the nearby Central Park offers a beautiful green escape right next to the bustling city. The circle is also a key transit point, connecting various major streets and subway lines, making it a convenient spot for exploring New York City. Its central location ensures easy access to some of Manhattan's most iconic destinations, blending the city's vibrant energy with a touch of elegance."

"Located at the edge of Central Park on 59th Street, the Christopher Columbus statute is one of the neatest stautes in the city, but it's also one of the most controversial. All in all, it is a cool monument in honor of the discoverer of America."

"Columbus Circle is really cool, I especially love the entrance point to Central Park that’s present here (it’s marked by a really picturesque statue). There’s great shopping + dining options located here and there is easy accessibility to the subway. It’s a must-see (through all seasons)!!"

"This is one busy intersection, it is also the place where the iconic statue of Columbus meets Central Park... There are so many things to see and to do in and around the park that you will have to set aside a day to take in all its splendour... We usually take the subway or a taxi to Columbus circle and then walk the park or take a Horse carriage or Pedicab to get around..."

"With the mild weather on Christmas Day, iconic Central Park, and the area streets were packed with locals and tourists from near and far. Everyone set aside their differences and troubles to share a beautiful moment in New York. A positively emotional experience. Kudos to Starbucks who had a bathroom and kept it open!!!!!! You deserved all the business you were getting. Your staff had a great attitude too. I love the setup of the store where orders are prepared in the coffee bar behind the glass (restaurant style)."
