POPS - Outdoor Seating

301 East 79th Street is a Privately Owned Public Space on the Upper East Side, providing outdoor seating at a residential building between First and Second Avenues in the heart of the Yorkville area.

The 79th Street crosstown corridor is one of the Upper East Side's most important east-west routes, connecting the American Museum of Natural History and Central Park on the west to the East River and the 79th Street Boat Basin area on the west (via the transverse through Central Park).

This section of the Upper East Side between First and Second Avenues has a predominantly residential character, with apartment towers and neighborhood shops serving the daily needs of the area's substantial population.

The East River Esplanade is accessible from this location via a short walk east, providing waterfront recreation and views of Roosevelt Island, the Queensboro Bridge, and the Queens shoreline.

This seating area provides a small outdoor amenity in the residential heart of the eastern Upper East Side.
