Two quotes from an article in yesterday's New York Times on the recent opening of The Shops at Columbus Circle:
1) "It's like a mecca for everything."
2) "This is like a piece of Stamford in Midtown. It's really nice that they brought the suburbs into the city."
I don't care what the developers responsible for it say; this place is a *mall,* and if you ever catch me in there, you can force me to buy you an eight-dollar bottle of Bud at Stone Rose, the restaurant there run by Cindy Crawford's husband. As if! Gag me with a spoon!
