POPS - Outdoor Plaza

245 East 54th Street is a Privately Owned Public Space in Midtown East near the Sutton Place residential enclave, providing an outdoor plaza between Second and Third Avenues.

Sutton Place, the prestigious residential neighborhood along the East River in the 50s, is one of the most exclusive addresses in Manhattan. The quiet, tree-lined streets and river views have attracted diplomats, financiers, and old-money families for generations.

The blocks between Second and Third Avenues in the 50s serve as a transitional zone between the Midtown commercial district to the west and the Sutton Place residential enclave to the east. The POPS serves both communities.

This section of Midtown East has a more residential character than the office-dominated blocks closer to Park and Madison Avenues, with apartment buildings, restaurants, and neighborhood services creating a livable urban environment.

This plaza provides outdoor space near one of Manhattan's most quietly prestigious residential neighborhoods.
