Good to know

Offering plenty of seating, it’s a great place to rest your feet (and use the restroom!).

Named after Christopher Columbus, this famous traffic circle acts as a gateway for the Upper West Side. Columbus Circle serves as the official starting point from which all official distances to and from NYC are recorded. In fact, United Nations officials visiting NYC on business are required to stay within a 25-mile radius of Columbus Circle.

Home to 50+ retail shops, The Shops at Columbus Circle is a popular shopping mall that comes equipped with a Whole Foods market at the ground level. My advice. Clean public restrooms are hard to come by in NYC, so take advantage of the restrooms located in this mall.
