188 East 64th Street is a Privately Owned Public Space on the Upper East Side, providing outdoor seating at a residential building between Lexington and Third Avenues.
The Upper East Side in the low 60s is near the Queensboro Bridge approach, which brings significant vehicular and pedestrian traffic through the neighborhood. The residential side streets maintain their calm character despite this nearby infrastructure.
The Queensboro Bridge (officially the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge), connecting the Upper East Side to Long Island City in Queens, is one of the great engineering landmarks of New York. The bridge's approach ramps and anchorage structures are visible from the surrounding blocks.
This section of the Upper East Side is near the recently opened Cornell Tech campus on Roosevelt Island, accessible by tramway from 60th Street. The campus has added a new educational dimension to the neighborhood.
This small seating area serves the residential community of the eastern Upper East Side with a modest but appreciated outdoor amenity.
