Maybe it's the Time Warner Effect: two new services are coming to Columbus Circle.

A Citibank branch is opening on 8th Avenue at 58th Street. There's already one on Broadway and 56th, but nothing between that and the one on 9th Avenue and 42nd. This will be great. Who feels like schlepping all the way from 8th Avenue to Broadway?

Second, JFK and LGA bus service is coming to the airline ticket outlet on Broadway and 61st Street. This is long overdue and should do very well, with Fordham's Lincoln Center campus, Juilliard, Time Warner Center and everyone else around here right nearby.
