Columbus Park — Attraction in New York

I’m not sure if people are expecting this park to be more than what it can be or they are just confused. During the day, it’s a good spot to sit down and have lunch. Like most places in the city, it’s honestly a perfect spot to people watch ha. There’s so many different personalities walking through this park it’s just comical and interesting.
