This huge circular park is located just outside the Central Park, almost on a corner of Central Park. There are a number of tour guides selling horse drawn tours of Central Park near Columbus Circle. It is definitely less crowded than a lot of other parks in New York City. There are a number of vendors around the Columbus Circle/Central Park area selling food, ice creams and other things. There is a tall statue of Cristopher Columbus, in the middle of the circle. The statue was created as a part of the 400th anniversary of Columbus' landing in the Americas. The park is open from 6 AM until late in the night, according to the signs posted there. A number of options to shop and dine around this place (as would be the case with most other places in New York!). Easy access to the subway makes this a good point to stop by and enjoy the city vibe, especially if visiting the iconic Central Park.

New York City has a variety of holiday shopping venues and one of them is located on Columbus Circle and Central Park West. My wife and I explored the village on our way to Strawberry Fields. The village is similar to the Bryant Park Holiday Village on a smaller scale, with many of the same vendors. Selling many holiday gifts and offering many food options, the holiday village is a nice way to spend some time in NYC during the holidays.

Our hotel was near here so we walked through here many times. The horse drawn carriages are often hanging around near here. Some nice shops. At night it was always busy and we felt safe.

Restaurants, ice cream or shopping. all are conveniently around this circle. try Venchi Chocolate & Gelato at Columbus Circle for an excellent ice-cream, or the shops in the mall. The place is especially nice at dusk

This is a major crossroads, big avenues come together, it's the corner of the park, several subway lines, and then there is the new multi-level shopping center. And the statue on the pedestal. One of the grand places in the city.

We made our way to Columbus Park after wandering through Central Park. Its a very busy location and is a very large roundabout with several landmarks. These include a statue of Christopher Columbus - hence Columbus Circle and a globe atlas, there are benches and a water feature for resting and taking lots of selfies. There are plenty of shops here too. The circle it self is just great to sit and taken in the atmosphere and people watch to your hearts content!

If you want to walk around Central Park and are looking for a good meeting spot beforehand, Columbus Circle is a great option. Statue of Christopher Columbus in the middle and Globe nearby. Lots of landmarks.

Columbus Circle is the Statue at the tip of the beginning of Central Park. A nice circle dedicated in the honour of Christopher Columbus. The 76 foot high statue stands tall; that doesn’t go without any controversy in the city of New York. It is a busy circle full of traffic and action. Across the street from the Statue are some luxury stores to do some good shopping. Nice area to come and visit and then take a stroll in Central Park.

With the the statue of Christopher Columbus by Gaetano Russo in the middle of Columbus Circle giving this heavily busy traffic circle it’s name, Columbus circle has become an attraction ok itself.
It’s lit! Right next to Central Park this area is filled with shopping centres and people.. you have to be there to feel the infectious vibe here.

Hello,
We need your help. Going on a “sisters” weekend trip to New York. First time for the three of us and don’t even know where to start. Arriving to LG airport at 10am Jan 26 and staying until Mon 28. Staying on the corner of Central Park and Columbus Cir. Need help starting. We were told to purchase the Explorer pass with different attraction options. We have thought of purchasing a pass with the Big Bus Hop in hop off 1 day pass, with tickets to the Statue of Liberty, Imperial State Building, 9/11 memorial museum, Soho-Little Italy-Chinatown tour, and the Guggenheim Museum. The bus says to go by the Brooklyn Bridge, and since it is going to be really cold, we thought of seeing it as we go from the bus. In the evening we are thinking of staying really late in Times Square.
Since we will be by Central Park and Columbus Cir, we are thinking of spending the day around this area on Sunday. Or we could do this on Sat during the day plus Times Square in the evening, and do the Big Bus Ride with all the other entrances on Sunday.
Monday morning we have planned to do some shopping at the mall near the hotel.
Are we too off track? Please forgive our ignorance. We just have never been to New York.
Thanks

wow. amazing itinerary ! you have done your homework. i would recommend to enjoy the foods around the city too. ( may read my reviews) . many who come to nyc FALL for the bike trips by the sellers. AS A NEW YORKER IT IS A WASTE OF TIME. NYC IS NOT REALLY A BIKE CITY to have locking the bike and safeguarding is a hasselle. not to mention the lines to rent and yo return.. in case there 30 min city bikes. 34th st and 7th ave area is a lovely shopping area too. chinatown in the day is totally different experience than the night ! shopping near the hole 57th st and 5th ave is the key. chanel lv ysl and all the top sellers !
enjoy your stay in nyc
