300 East 85th Street is a Privately Owned Public Space in the Yorkville section of the Upper East Side, providing outdoor seating at a residential building between First and Second Avenues.
Yorkville's eastern blocks near the East River have been transformed by the arrival of the Second Avenue subway, which has dramatically improved transit access to a corridor that was previously one of the most transit-poor in Manhattan.
The Carl Schurz Park waterfront, a few blocks north, provides one of the most pleasant sections of the East River Esplanade. The park's elevated promenade offers views of the Hell Gate, Roosevelt Island, and the Bronx.
Eastern Yorkville maintains a neighborhood character with local shops, restaurants, and services along First and Second Avenues that serve the residential community. The area feels less touristy and more authentic than the commercial corridors to the west.
This seating area provides outdoor space in the residential heart of eastern Yorkville, a neighborhood that is coming into its own thanks to improved transit and growing commercial amenities.
