235 West 48th Street is a Privately Owned Public Space in the Theater District, providing an indoor publicly accessible lobby between Broadway and Eighth Avenue.
West 48th Street in this block is in the heart of Broadway's Theater District, surrounded by playhouses, restaurants, and the pre-show and post-show activity that makes this one of the most energetic neighborhoods in the city every evening.
The Theater District's approximately 41 Broadway theaters produce the most significant concentration of professional English-language theater in the world, generating over $1.8 billion in annual ticket sales and supporting an ecosystem of restaurants, hotels, and related businesses.
The indoor POPS provides a respite from the Theater District's intense sidewalk activity. Before curtain time, the sidewalks fill with theater-goers, tourists, restaurant patrons, and the general bustle of one of the world's great entertainment districts.
This lobby space serves the nightly theatrical audience that makes Broadway the most important commercial theater district on Earth.
