222 East 39th Street is a Privately Owned Public Space in the Murray Hill neighborhood, providing outdoor seating at a residential building between Second and Third Avenues.
Murray Hill's residential blocks in the upper 30s occupy a transitional zone between the Midtown office district beginning at 40th Street and the quieter residential neighborhoods to the south. The side streets maintain a residential calm despite their proximity to Grand Central Terminal.
The Sniffen Court Historic District, a mews of ten Romanesque Revival carriage houses on East 36th Street, is one of the hidden architectural gems of Murray Hill, representing the kind of surprise discovery that rewards walking through Manhattan's residential neighborhoods.
Murray Hill's mix of brownstone townhouses, pre-war apartment buildings, and newer residential towers creates architectural variety on blocks that are otherwise uniformly residential in character.
This seating area serves the Murray Hill residential community with a modest outdoor amenity on a quiet side street.
