So many things to do in one place! Take in world class shopping at the Time Warner Center , swing by Center Bar at night for a drink and a spectacular view , or head over to Central Park .

Columbus Circle stands in the middle of a roundabout surrounded by posh hotels , Time Warner Center and the southwest entrance to Central Park .Nice spot to get some much needed Vitamin D & people watch

Did you know that Columbus Circle is the point from which all official distances from New York City are measured?

In the movie Ghostbusters (1984), Columbus Circle is the site where the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man begins his trip towards 55 Central Park West.

Great place to start a tour of the area--Central Park , Lincoln Center , the subway below connects you to everywhere.

Right by the edge of Central Park , Columbus Circle boasts one of Manhattan's only shopping malls . http://hashtagnyu.tumblr.com/post/141255765865/how-to-impress-visitors-at-nyu-central-park

Really fun for Christmas shopping and the holiday spirit mode! I love the shopping here in general! The horse rides are fun too! They also have ice skating at walman rink

One of the most vibrant venues in NYC with time Warner center complex, and great restaurants around and just a wonderful open space with sculptures and park entrance right there

Something is always happening here including the holiday shops that are currently open. In addition, there are lots of shops, restaurants and food trucks of every kind. Entrance to the park also.

The point where all distances to NY are measured. Was designed by "The Father of Traffic Safety" William Eno who never drove a car in his life. 70' Columbus statue added 1892. More info in our blog Read more

Enjoy the view and New York vibe. Back in the day you would've found the great actor Robin Williams hanging out here. TMZ even posted a vid of him on the circle a few years ago.

Easily accessible with Citi Bike stations on either side of the Circle - north at 62 and Broadway and south at 58th and Broadway. Go for a spin!

This sculpture is pretty awesome - a tourist bear holding some poop. Not sure if it is a comment on tourism , Columbus, or the city .

Meet at the Ghandi Statue , the one landmark in NYC, where the West side and the East side converge . . Meet at the Ghandi Statue , the one landmark in NYC, where the West side and the East side converg

Nice place to meet with your friends. There is a whole food market in the Columbus Mall you can grave a bite or buy stuff for a picnic at Central Park

I love how it has shopping, great fine dining restaurants (ex. Marea), and an entrance to Central Park all in one space!

The Christmas Market is amazing. Fill with nice vendors and a lot of tasty food - and hot wine !

This is a center point for lots to do. The Time Warner Center , Central Park , and the surrounding shops and avenues all offer great places for a photo opp. Celebrities often frequent the area too.

Parents: Homeless people use the fountain as a source of water ie. They wash up, brush teeth (yes, with a toothbrush and toothpaste), and relieve themselves, among other things. Proceed with caution

Good place to sit and watch fountains .

A must for any tourist . With the entrance to Central Park , Lincoln Center , the Time Warner Center & plenty of restaurants you will never get bored. Make sure your camera is charged & ready.

Busy area for auto and pedestrian traffic. Great for people watching . Also good place to watch the Thanksgiving Day parade .

Nice place to sit outdoors with usually live music during the summer and during the winter to get into the holiday season. Beautiful lighting and atmosphere.

Beautiful circle with great food and shopping nearby. Nice place to sit, terrible place to bicycle.

I love Columbus Circle. It feels so majestic with the sculptures , tall buildings, and park views .

Great stop to check out Central Park or a short walk to Lincoln Center . A really nice part of NYC.

There is a huge Whole Food , ideal to grab snacks and make a Pick Nic in the Park !

Nice break area in the middle of a very busy road

Great upscale mall , view of Columbus Circle, take elevator to 5th floor for quiet window.

Central location. Love it. Close to everything.

If you get here early enough, you can get a spot near the front to watch the elites finish the NYC Marathon. It gets crowded as the day goes on.

Sit by the fountains in the evening, great spot to relax and reflect.

grab a seat by the fountains and relax!

Something always happening in the area.

it's also beautiful at night when the fountain is all lot up!

One of these hot dog vendors has relish , which is a very rare treat in this city . Most only carry sauerkraut .

Great place to sit and have lunch on nice days. Great shops too

Great razor blade store. A little overpriced but walking distance to Lincoln center if you're around.

Quick tip: Columbus Circle is the point from which all official distances from New York City are measured.

Check out the statue of Christopher Columbus here. Traffic gets crazy around it, so be careful.
