243 Lexington Avenue is a Privately Owned Public Space on Lexington Avenue in the Gramercy / Kips Bay area, providing outdoor seating along one of the East Side's primary north-south avenues.
Lexington Avenue between 23rd and 34th Streets transitions from the residential calm of Gramercy to the commercial energy of the Murray Hill office district. The avenue's ground-floor retail serves both the residential and commercial populations.
This section of Lexington Avenue is near the famous Curry Hill restaurant district, where dozens of Indian, Pakistani, and Bangladeshi restaurants line the avenue and side streets in the upper 20s, creating one of the most concentrated ethnic dining corridors in Manhattan.
Lexington Avenue carries the 4, 5, and 6 subway lines, making it one of the most heavily transited avenues in the city. The constant flow of commuters and residents creates busy sidewalks throughout the day.
This seating area provides outdoor space along a busy avenue, offering a place to rest on one of the East Side's most heavily used commercial and transit corridors.
