It’s fun to discover cool public art in and around the City on my daily adventures, even when that art has already been in place for years! For example, I just had my first encounter with XO World, a monumental sculpture located on West Street in Lower Manhattan, adjacent to the World Trade Center. As you can see, it is pretty sweet.
