347 West 57th Street is a Privately Owned Public Space in Midtown West near the Hell's Kitchen border, providing outdoor seating between Eighth and Ninth Avenues.
West 57th Street west of Eighth Avenue has a more residential character than the luxury commercial corridor of 57th Street farther east. The blocks approaching Ninth Avenue are part of the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood's residential fabric.
The DeWitt Clinton Park on Eleventh Avenue between 52nd and 54th Streets is one of the few major parks in Midtown West, providing athletic facilities and green space for the Hell's Kitchen community. The POPS supplements this limited park infrastructure.
Hell's Kitchen's residential transformation has brought new apartment buildings, restaurants, and cultural venues to a neighborhood that was once considered rough and undesirable. The change has been dramatic over the past two decades.
This seating area provides outdoor space at the intersection of Midtown's commercial energy and Hell's Kitchen's evolving residential character.
