Columbus Circle

This is a nice place to go shopping and explore the city!
Another thing is this is also near Central Park
The inside of the mall looks great. There are some statues inside. On the bottom floor there is a food market

Located in Midtown Manhattan on the west side of Central Park, Columbus Circle is a beautiful place and one of the most famous in New York.
Surrounded by largest monuments like the Time Warner Center, with possibility to find many différents shops inside, there’s a monument dedicated to Christopher Columbus at its center stands.
It’s a large transportation hub and direct connection to Broadway, Central Park South or the 8^th avenue. Also, she’s deserved by many bus and subways lines.
I never get tired to spend a little time to observe the cars pass along above. In my opinion it’s a wonderful introduction and the best arrive to begin a walk in Central Park.

Situé au nord de Manhattan sur la rive ouest de Central Park, Columbus Circle est une magnifique place et une des plus connus de New York.
Entouré d’immenses batiments comme le centre commercial Time Warner, où il est possible de trouver tout un cas de produits, on trouve en son centre, un monument en hommage à Christophe Colomb.
C’est un grand axe de circulation et lien direct avec Brodway, le sud de Centrak Park ou encore la 8eme avenue. Elle est également esservi par de nombreuses lignes de bus et de métro.
Je né me lasse jamais de passer un peu de temps à chaque fois les voitures y circuler. Selon moi c’est une merveilleuse introduction et la meilleure entrée pour débuter une balade dans Central Park.

This area is great for both day and night. There are many restaurants, bars and the area itself is nice. I always considered this location as a place where you can find many of the different residence of NYC.
There are many things to do here, you have the shopping center, different restaurants and bars, but for me this park is the palace where I will stop my day and relax for a while. Beautiful.

I love when the holiday market comes to Columbus Circle. There are so many things to sample and an already lively street corner gets even better.

Lots of impulse buying during the holidays. Unfortunately you don’t always get great deals. Compare prices online before you make that purchgase. I like this market more than the one at Union Square.

Meh, Columbus circle does as much for me as Columbus day does as a holiday. And the Time Warner Center does as much for me as cable TV does (which is why I don’t have it.). So commercial and much of it high end mall-​ish chain type stores. And no seating.
Cool statue but I’m never feeling this part of town.
Still love you, Central park, tho.

If you don’t remember, not long ago this area was a mess. Since this has all been rejuvenated it looks great. It’s enjoyable to go sit and shop at the Time Warner Center.
The space near central park does get crazy with people selling their wares. Tourists are everywhere. I think it’s a great place for them to visit. The horse carriages are right around the corner.
This area has so much culture. East on 59^th and you get to the Plaza, the Apple Store and much more. To the South is Times Square, the theater district and restaurant row! It’s like the cross roads to entertainment, art, music, and history. And much much more!

Aesthetically, Columbus Circle gives me goosebumps as it reminds me of Central Park and all of its hustle and bustle.
For the first time, after visiting this city handfuls of times — I decided to grab lunch in the big mall. I was perplexed to discover during my 45+ minute wait for a table that there were absolute zero places to sit. I assume this is to avoid increased foot traffic and loitering by tourists?
I decided against Bouchon bakery and instead tried my hand at sushi in Whole Foods. I’ve never been to a busier place in my life. The entire time I was eating my very expensive plate, people’s purses were knocking me in the back.
Just wasn’t my cup of tea. Gorgeous views though. Everyone should sit by the big golden statue and get lost in the art of people watching.

I honestly can’t ever get enough of Central Park. It’s such a beautiful park and the atmosphere is always so perfect. Today must be a really good day because when I ask for help, people are more than happy to stop and assist me. If you know of any fun activities to do over here. Please let me know! :-)

Una de las estaciones mas grandes del metro en donde al parecer casi todas las líneas se juntan. Puedes encontrar tiendas de varios tipos y hasta servicio de wi-​fi gratis. Encuentro este lugar bastante limpio y tranquilo a comparación de las otras estaciones. Y este pequeño peque con el que cuenta es realmente hermoso y tranquilo para descansar y admirar la belleza natural de las plantas.

I’ve walked by Columbus Circle many times living in NYC all my life. However, one night I was in the area waiting for a friend to meet me for dinner and I actually sat in the circle and people watched for a few minutes. It was a beautiful summer night and it was cool seeing NYC in lights and watching tourists and just everyday New Yorkers enjoying our city. I’m a typical New Yorker who walks fast and don’t always take advantage of some of our city’s beautiful landmarks so it was refreshing to sit and take it all on. I hate going to an address in the area because it can be very confusing by the circle and figuring out where and how to get across the streets. LOL
The next time you’re in the area, take a few minutes to sit down and enjoy the fountain, lights, restaurants and people.

At Columbus Circle there is the entry to Central Park, Jean George, and the Time Warner Center. It is always bustling so make sure you stay close with your party or else got might get lost! I love sitting in the TWC building and looking through the huge glass windows out onto Columbus Circle.

Beautiful area. The mall itself is inside the TWC towers, which look razor sharp and is a New York landmark. At the southwestern edge of Central park, this round-​about is chaotic, yet beautiful.
The mall itself has a diverse collection of stores ranging from high end to medium (J. crew, H&M, etc.). Also with two large Botero naked statues. Cute.

My birthday is October 12^th Columbus Day so I tend to gravitate to this area.
When Columbus discovered America, he landed and walked to the Upper West Side. He looked around and around hence the name Columbus Circle. That historic event, the architects of New York named the area COLUMBUS CIRCLE
Yeah. Enough of the history lesson. This is my favorite part of NYC.
Shopping, Restaurants, Central Park, the Subway, everything seems to point to 59^th st.
The traffic circle itself is very easy to follow, just watch out for the Horse doo doo.
And whats up with the globe? I think its a beacon. Like a Men in Black homing signal.
There isn’t anything really to report, its a nice part of NYC that somehow has everything!
Thanks Christopher Columbus for discovering America and making this circle.

Love this part of West side. The centerpiece fountain adds a wonderful flavor to this area surrounded by high rise buildings, posh restaurants, shopping center and media offices.
The inequalities inherent in a capitalist society (am not attributing good/​/​bad, it is what it is) are not lost on you as you see homeless folks loitering around the fountain surrounded by an ocean of wealth and opulence. Hello America!

It’s right by Jean Georges, a hop on/​hop off bus stop, and the southwest corner of Central Park so I almost always end up here at some point or another whether I’m traveling to New York City alone or accompanying first-​timers. Horse drawn carriages pass through here, giving it an extra layer of je né sais qoui. Magic? Manure? It may depend whether you’re a half full/​half empty type.
I always enjoy sitting here and just taking a 5 minute break from the intensive itineraries I tend to create with the interest of squeezing in as much (mostly food) as possible on my trips to one of my two favorite cities in the US.

Auf unserer Entdeckungsreise durch NYC sind wir auch des Öfteren am Columbus Circle vorbeigekommen. Der große Platz liegt an der Kreuzung wo der Broadway, Central Park West, Central Park South (59^th Street) und Eight Avenue aufeinander treffen.
Der Kreisverkehr wurde seinerzeit von William Phelps Eno entworfen und ist heute ein wichtiger Verkehrsknotenpunkt, wo die Buslinien M5, M7, M10, M20, und M104 halten, sowie die Linien A, B, C, D und 1 der New Yorker Subway.
Auf dem Platz steht eine Statue von Christoph Kolumbus, die1892 zum Gedenktag des 400. Jahrestages der Entdeckung Amerikas errichtet wurde. Das Monument wurde durch die italienische Tageszeitung (Il Progresso) finanziert.
Im Jahre 2005 wurde der Platz rund um das Monument aufwendig renoviert. In diesem Zuge wurden der Wasserspringbrunnen, Holzbänke und Bepflanzungen angelegt. Es wirkt alles sehr gepflegt und einladend.
Direkt am Columbus Circle befindet sich ein Eingang zum Central Park. In der Nähe befinden sich unter anderem das Time Warner Center mit der Zentrale des Time Warner-​Konzerns und dem New Yorker Hauptquartier des Nachrichtensenders CNN und das Trump International Hotel and Tower.
Ein schöner Platz, der aber sicherlich nicht zu den Top Sehenswürdigkeiten in New York zählt.

In the past, I always equated Columbus Circle with Time Warner Center, the Trump Tower and one of the entrances into Central Park, but after this visit, I can also now equate it to the Museum of Arts & Design, not to mention, the wonderful restaurant, Robert. Sitting on the 9^th floor of the Museum of Arts & Design building, Robert offered us a spectacular view of Columbus Circle and Central Park. One of these years, I’d like to see the Holiday Market that is at Columbus Circle. My understanding is that they open 2 days after we leave (when we come out for Thanksgiving week.) Traffic can be a bit crazy there as it feeds into a variety of heavily traveled streets. It can be a bit daunting.

The 15^th Annual Winter’s Eve at Lincoln Square: is New York’s largest outdoor holiday festival, hosted and produced by the Lincoln Square Business Improvement District (BID).
The annual fête was on Monday, December 1^st from 5:30PM — 9:00PM .
They had over 20 free, world-​class musical performances, processional groups, dance, ice-​sculpting, jugglers, stilt-​walkers and other street festivities lined the blocks & filled the shops. As we walked along the sidewalks of Broadway from Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle to 68^th Street, it was beautiful to hear music resonating from the unique voices and instruments of a variety of talented performers. Upper West Side neighborhood was transformed into a winter wonderland! Great experience for the little ones. :)

It’s a cute little spot in NYC. There are shops here, which remind me of a mall honestly. They’re more on the higher end too. However, they got rid of Borders, which was upsetting. I wish that another book store would be in here.
The actual circle is cute and is a great entrance to Central Park.

The shops, the sights, the park, food… Columbus circle is surrounded by some pretty awesome things. The monument and the fountains (in the warmer months) are truly wonderful to see. It is definitely a nice little oasis of architectural beauty amidst the hustle and bustle of cars and people blurring by. Around Christmas, the trees surrounding circle are all lit up and an awesome pop up market makes Columbus Circle its home– always a great place to visit.
The ACEBD and 1 trains all make a stop at Columbus Circle so it is a great meeting point and easily accessible.

Columbus Circle ist ein beliebter Umsteigeort und viel befahrener Platz am südlichen Eingang zum Central Park. In der Mitte befindet sich die eindrucksvolle Columbsstatue. Außerdem gibt es einen großen metallenen Globus zu bestaunen und eine weitere goldene Skulptur. Viele Food Truck sind hier stationiert und eine große teure und für mich wenig interessante Einkaufspassage gibt es hier auch.

It is pretty spectacular.
Major traffic hab, Columbus Circle still holds its charm in the middle of all this hustle and bustle. Even backdrop on modern buildings (Time Warner and Museum of Art and Design) just adds to this architectural treasure.
Granite, bronze & marble monument is grand, fountains are simply beautiful, especially at night. There is something about it timeless design… Wooden benches around to sit on and people-​watch… And Central Park peaking in across the street…
Relax on the bench, enjoys fountains, get some shopping done or visit many or restaurants and cafes, and of course, take a walk at park…
Glorious. Definitely stop by and see.
