in the neighborhood
Columbus Circle refers to the intersection of Eighth Avenue, Broadway, Central Park South and Central Park West, at the southwest corner of Central Park; unofficially, the term also refers to the surrounding neighborhood that radiates its vibrant energy north to Lincoln Center, east to the Plaza Hotel and south to Carnegie Hall. In addition to playing host to many of its own diversions, Columbus Circle serves as an optimal point of departure to many of the city’s major art museums, performing arts and live music venues, parks and more.
