If you’re feeling down and happen to find yourself near Columbus Circle, run, don’t walk, to check out one of the most adorable sculptures on display anywhere in the city right now.
Located at The Shops on Columbus Circle, you’ll find two giant sculptures of cartoon characters created by the animation brand Lil’ Heroes. They're on view until March 31.
One of the two sculptures, “The Dreamer” is an impressive 11.5 feet tall and stands just outside of The Shops, so it’s pretty hard to miss. The sculpture depicts a child looking up toward the sky, which is an ode to the power of imagination and hope. Next to him is an adorable yellow pup, which symbolizes the importance of companionship through life’s journeys.
To see the second sculpture, you’ll have to go inside the building and to the second floor that overlooks the Great Room of The Shops. At 5 feet tall, this is a more digestible but equally adorable version of “The Dreamer” downstairs, with its own adorable canine companion.
