  • 2 Columbus Circle: Tracking the reveal

    Photo credit: Urbanite

    We last checked in on 2 Columbus Circle's slow reveal two weeks ago; on Friday, much more of the Museum of Art and Design's facade was visible, as well as a hint of the only remaining signature element of the original building (not counting the facade's concave shape) ... the lollipops made famous by Ada Louise Huxtable.

    We also noticed a few weeks back what we suppose was the original sidewalk (circle and circle and more circles) still largely intact. Will it last? Does it matter given the original facade's senseless obliteration?

    The old sidewalk lingers on.
