111 East 85th Street is a Privately Owned Public Space on the Upper East Side, providing a small outdoor seating area at a residential building in one of Manhattan's most established neighborhoods.
The Upper East Side between Lexington and Third Avenues in the 80s is a densely residential area of apartment buildings, schools, restaurants, and neighborhood shops. POPS in this area tend to be small and residential in character.
The Upper East Side's cultural institutions, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim Museum, and the Neue Galerie, are located along Fifth Avenue's Museum Mile, a short walk west of this address.
Residential POPS on the Upper East Side serve a different function than Midtown's commercial plazas: they provide small outdoor amenities for the building's neighbors and passersby rather than the large gathering spaces found in office districts.
This modest POPS reflects the residential scale of the Upper East Side's side streets, where public space is measured in benches and planters rather than acres.
