166 East 34th Street is a Privately Owned Public Space in the Murray Hill neighborhood, providing outdoor seating at a residential building near the Kips Bay border.
East 34th Street is a significant cross-town corridor connecting the Queens-Midtown Tunnel entrance on the east to Penn Station and Herald Square on the west. The POPS provides a resting spot along this busy route.
Murray Hill's residential blocks between the major crosstown streets maintain a neighborhood character despite the heavy traffic on 34th Street. The side streets offer relative quiet just steps from one of Manhattan's most congested thoroughfares.
The neighborhood's proximity to the Midtown office district makes it popular with young professionals who walk to work in the towers along Park and Madison Avenues. The POPS serves this commuting population as well as the building's residents.
This small outdoor seating area provides a modest public amenity on the busy 34th Street corridor, offering a place to sit in a neighborhood where every bench counts.
