Hello, I\u2019m David Hill from New York Habitat.\u00a0 After taking us to Times Square, our Video Tour “All Along Broadway” <\/a>will lead us to Columbus Circle, <\/strong>one of the most famous spot in New York City<\/strong><\/a>!<\/p>\n

Running the length of Manhattan from its southern tip known as Bowling Green to the northern part of the city, Broadway crosses many neighborhoods and creates \u201csquares\u201d when it crosses the streets that run east to west along the way.<\/p>\n

This famous stretch of road has many attractions, different parks and areas along the way, but we have been dividing the road into smaller sections, beginning in the south and moving north, making it easier to gain the full perspective. Be sure to check out the other videos of the \u201cAll Along Broadway\u201d Series that we have already posted.<\/p>\n

\nVideo Tour of Columbus Circus (5:12)<\/p>\n

History<\/strong><\/p>\n

Broadway is the oldest street in the city.\u00a0 Originally it was a trail used by the Native Americans who lived here and later it was used by the Dutch settlers to travel to the northern forests to hunt.<\/p>\n

Columbus Circle<\/strong><\/p>\n

Columbus Circle is formed where Broadway intersects with Central Park West and 59th Street and is the only intersection with a round shape. It is located\u00a0right in\u00a0between Midtown West<\/a> and the Upper West Side<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There is a contrast between nature on one side of the circle, outlined by Central Park with its beautiful treesand its horses with carriages, and the modern skyscrapers on the other side.<\/p>\n

Christopher Columbus Monument<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the middle of the circle stands a statue of Christopher Columbus, designed in 1892 by Italian sculptor Gaetano Russo, in commemoration of Columbus\u2019 discovery of the \u201cNew World\u201d.<\/p>\n

Museum of Art and Design<\/strong> \u2013 2 Columbus Circle<\/p>\n

On the south side of Columbus Circle you can admire the Museum of Art and Design building.\u00a0 As originally constructed, the building had Venetian styles but was disliked by many. The building was redesigned in 2008 amid a fight to preserve the original design.\u00a0 The new design has been equally criticized. The museum offers one of the finest collections of American craft including works of clay, glass, metal, fiber and wood.<\/p>\n

Trump International Hotel & Tower<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Trump International Hotel Tower is one of the many towers owned by business magnate Donald Trump. It stands tall over the northern corner of Columbus Circle.\u00a0 Part of it is occupied by upscale luxury apartments and part of it contains a\u00a0 five star luxury hotel.\u00a0 In addition, the building is known for the globe that is in front of it.<\/p>\n

As an alternative to hotels, don\u2019t forget that New York Habitat offers vacation rental apartments at affordable prices for you and your family anywhere in Manhattan<\/a>. Not only are they cheaper than hotels, they have fully equipped kitchen to cook a meal like at home.\u00a0 That makes it a better deal for families and groups.<\/p>\n

Take a look at this 1 Bedroom Vacation Rental Apartment in Midtown West (NY-14136)<\/a>. Located just 3 blocks from Columbus Circle, this apartment is located on the 6th floor of an elevator building with a doorman. The apartment has plentiful seating and a fully equipped kitchen in addition to its prime New York City location.<\/p>\n

Another choice is this apartment located on Central Park South and is also a 1 Bedroom vacation rental (NY-11135)<\/a>. This apartment is available for 2 people and is situated on the 12th floor of a 40-story high rise building, but best of all this accommodation is located literally across the street from Central Park!

Furthermore, the CNN headquarters and the Jazz at Lincoln Center complex are also located in the building.<\/p>\n

\nJazz at Lincoln Center, Rose Hall \u2013 Broadway & 60th Street<\/p>\n

Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts is a complex of various theaters located a few blocks up from Columbus Circle, but the jazz portion of it is located right here at the Frederick P. Rose Hall inside the Time Warner Center.<\/p>\n

In Rose Hall you will find state-of \u2013the art rehearsal studios, jazz instructional programs, theaters and many jazz events curated by Artistic Director and world renowned jazz trumpeter, Wynton Marsalis.<\/p>\n
