340 East 93rd Street

340 East 93rd Street is a Privately Owned Public Space in the northern Yorkville area of the Upper East Side, providing outdoor seating at a residential building between First and Second Avenues.

Northern Yorkville in the 90s is near the Marx Brothers Playground on 96th Street, named for the legendary comedy team who grew up on East 93rd Street. Harpo, Groucho, and their brothers walked these same blocks as children in the early 1900s.

The neighborhood's proximity to the 96th Street boundary with East Harlem gives it a more diverse and less homogeneous character than the Upper East Side's more central blocks. The mix of incomes and backgrounds reflects the transition between neighborhoods.

The Second Avenue subway's 96th Street station has improved transit access for this section of Yorkville, connecting it directly to Midtown and reducing reliance on the overcrowded Lexington Avenue line.

This seating area provides outdoor space in the neighborhood where one of America's most beloved comedy families grew up, on the northern edge of the Upper East Side.
