211 East 70th Street is a Privately Owned Public Space on the Upper East Side, providing outdoor seating at a residential building between Second and Third Avenues in the heart of the neighborhood.
The Upper East Side in the low 70s between the avenues is one of the most consistently residential sections of Manhattan. The blocks are lined with a mix of pre-war and postwar apartment buildings, with ground-floor retail providing neighborhood services.
The Frick Collection, housed in the 1914 Henry Clay Frick mansion on Fifth Avenue at 70th Street, is one of the finest small art museums in the world. The collection of Old Master paintings, sculpture, and decorative arts is displayed in the original domestic setting of the Gilded Age mansion.
The Upper East Side's side streets in the 70s have a uniformly refined character: well-maintained buildings, tree-lined sidewalks, and the kind of quiet residential atmosphere that has made this one of the most desirable neighborhoods in the city for over a century.
This seating area provides a small public amenity on one of the Upper East Side's characteristically elegant residential blocks.
