Columbus Circle - New York

In the southwest corner of Central Park, we find the New Yorker version of the Plaza de Colon.
In the center of the square stands the statue that is named in honor of the discoverer of the "New World" back in 1492.

This square comes from the confluence of several well-known streets and avenues, like Broadway, Central Park South and 8th Avenue.
is quite difficult to find in a city like New York so checkered a place like this, a large roundabout which also makes kilometer zero to measure the distances to the city.

Among the buildings that surround us in this square are the Manhattan studios of the most popular news network in the world, CNN, in which we can make a tour of their facilities.

Just next door is the Museum of Arts & Design, a curious gray building with little windows.

Another landmark of the square is the Trump International Hotel and Tower, a 5-star hotel is at your door a replica of the Unisphere of Flushing Meadows Park, a sculpture located in the borough of Queens and which was the symbol of the Universal Exhibition of 1964.

But undoubtedly the most striking of this square are considered new twin towers in New York, Time Warner Center.

This is the headquarters of Time Warner, in addition to the two skyscrapers of 229 meters, the complex has two of the most expensive restaurants in the city, the "Mass" and "Per se", a concert hall and a shopping center with major brands which is also a supermarket on the lower ground floor called Whole Foods Market, where we can find a huge variety of fresh quality products.

From Columbus Circle, down about 100 meters on the 8th. Avenue, we find the Hearst Tower, the first ecological skyscraper in the city of New York and also has a design really interesting.

Close to Columbus Circle, is the Lincoln Center, one of the largest performing arts complex in the world, which are based organizations like the New York City Opera, New York Philharmonic, The Public Library for the Performing Arts, American Ballet Theater and The Metropolitan Opera.

We leave this area to visit another day, but in the end we did not have time to go, so if you are in the area do not hesitate to visit the complex or attend one of the cultic events organized by the Lincoln Center.
