10 West 66th Street is a Privately Owned Public Space on the Upper West Side, near Lincoln Center and Central Park. The POPS provides a small outdoor area in one of Manhattan's most culturally rich residential neighborhoods.
The Upper West Side between Columbus Circle and the American Museum of Natural History is one of the most desirable residential neighborhoods in Manhattan, with grand pre-war apartment buildings, tree-lined streets, and proximity to both Central Park and the Lincoln Center cultural campus.
The POPS serves the neighborhood's residential population and the visitors drawn to Lincoln Center's concert halls, opera house, and theaters. The Upper West Side's pedestrian-friendly character makes small public spaces especially valuable.
West 66th Street is home to several major cultural institutions and media organizations, including ABC News studios and the New York Society for Ethical Culture. The street connects Central Park West to Columbus Avenue through a particularly attractive residential block.
This POPS adds a small measure of public open space to a neighborhood where the combination of cultural institutions, residential density, and park proximity creates one of the most walkable environments in the city.
