353 East 72nd Street is a Privately Owned Public Space on the Upper East Side, providing outdoor seating at a residential building between First and Second Avenues near the 72nd Street commercial corridor.
72nd Street is one of the Upper East Side's primary crosstown corridors, connecting the Queensboro Bridge approach and the East River to Central Park via the 72nd Street transverse. The street's commercial activity and transit connections make it a neighborhood hub.
The 72nd Street station on the Second Avenue subway, opened in 2017, features public art by Vik Muniz created from thousands of small images assembled into large portraits of everyday New Yorkers. The art program reflects the subway system's commitment to making stations cultural venues.
The POPS serves the residential community near this important crosstown corridor, providing outdoor seating on a side street steps from the commercial energy of 72nd Street.
This seating area provides a neighborhood-scale amenity near one of the Upper East Side's most important intersections.
