1 Lincoln Plaza is a Privately Owned Public Space on Broadway near West 63rd Street, adjacent to Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts on the Upper West Side. The POPS provides outdoor seating and open space near one of the world's premier cultural complexes.
Lincoln Center is home to the Metropolitan Opera, the New York Philharmonic, the New York City Ballet, the Juilliard School, and several other major performing arts organizations. The POPS at 1 Lincoln Plaza contributes to the network of public spaces surrounding this cultural campus.
The plaza serves both the residential population of the Upper West Side and the millions of visitors who attend performances at Lincoln Center each year. The space provides a place to gather before or after events at the nearby theaters and concert halls.
As a POPS, this space was created through the city's zoning incentive program and is required to display signage indicating its public accessibility. The space is maintained by the building's owner as a condition of the additional floor area granted during construction.
The Upper West Side location, steps from Central Park, Lincoln Center, and the bustling commercial corridor of Broadway, makes this POPS part of one of Manhattan's most culturally rich neighborhoods.
