I came across the cube on the way to Wall Street from the World Trade Center. It was something a bit different and quite interesting and unexpected.

Walking around the Financial District you will discover a number of unusual sculptures. One of these is the Red Cube.I am not sure if it is supposed to signify anything. Possibly something about conforming and being a square perhaps?

The Red Cube is landmark in the downtown Fidi Financial District area. It’s a giant sculpture of a red cube.

The big red cube is located on Broadway in downtown Manhattan, near Trinity Church. It was sculpted by Isamu Noguchi in 1968 and has stood here ever since. It’s a striking sculpture, contrasting with the white sidewalk and the black skyscraper behind it. It’ll take a minute to cross the street to see this massive item & it’s definitely worth it.

We are local to NY/NJ area. Every time I visit downtown I see people taking photos near the red cube either pretending to be crushed by it or holding it. Finally we decided to do that too. We were there at midnight and right in front of the cube was a street vendor selling Indian food so we decided to eat our second dinner and take photos at the cube. Another check on the item in my list that I didn't know I had. Probably do it once if you have kids. Enjoy
