Columbus Circle Memorial Day Weekend Observation

12:15-2:00

On my two trips to Columbus Circle on consecutive days I made the following observations about the space:

People who used the central space around the Columbus statue worked in the surrounding buildings, mainly, out on their lunch breaks.

People on the sidewalk in front of the Center were walking to and from work or going shopping in the Center.  They did not generally congregate out front except to wait for the light.







People on the Central Park Plaza were mainly tourists or were working in tourist oriented services.
