This is a great tip for those interested in Manhattan Statue Burnishing!
Standing in the lobby of Time-Warner Center Shops at Columbus Circle are two huge bronze sculptures by contemporary artist Fernando Botero. The 15-ft tall nude figures are titled "Adam and Eve." As one might expect, the male figure has a certain body part that visitors find themselves burnishing almost before they even realize what they're doing!
Whether it brings good luck or not, the world may never know (We don't kiss and tell!).
