115 East 87th Street is a Privately Owned Public Space on the Upper East Side, providing a small outdoor seating area at a residential building in the Yorkville/Carnegie Hill area of Manhattan.
This section of the Upper East Side, in the upper 80s between Lexington and Park Avenues, is predominantly residential with a neighborhood character defined by apartment buildings, local shops, and community institutions.
The Yorkville neighborhood, historically a German and Hungarian immigrant community, has largely been absorbed into the broader Upper East Side but retains traces of its Central European heritage in a few remaining restaurants and cultural organizations.
Small residential POPS on the Upper East Side provide modest outdoor amenities in a neighborhood where public green space is concentrated in Central Park to the west and Carl Schurz Park to the east, leaving the interior blocks underserved.
This POPS serves the immediate residential community with a small but appreciated outdoor gathering space on an otherwise fully built-up block.
