200 East 64th Street is a Privately Owned Public Space on the Upper East Side, providing outdoor seating at a residential building two blocks north of its sibling POPS at 200 East 62nd Street.
The concentration of POPS at residential buildings along the eastern Upper East Side reflects the area's development during the incentive zoning era, when developers routinely included small public spaces in exchange for additional building height.
East 64th Street between Second and Third Avenues is a quiet residential block lined with apartment buildings, a short walk from the commercial activity of the avenues and the waterfront recreation along the East River.
The Upper East Side's eastern blocks have become increasingly desirable as the Second Avenue subway (opened 2017) improved transit access to a corridor that had long been underserved by the subway system.
This seating area serves the everyday outdoor needs of apartment dwellers in one of Manhattan's most established residential neighborhoods.
