400 East 70th Street is a Privately Owned Public Space on the Upper East Side, providing outdoor seating at a residential building between First Avenue and York Avenue near the hospital campus corridor.
York Avenue in the upper 60s and 70s is home to several of the most important medical institutions in the world, including NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and the Hospital for Special Surgery.
The concentration of world-class hospitals along York Avenue gives this section of the Upper East Side a medical campus character. Thousands of doctors, nurses, researchers, and support staff work within walking distance of this POPS.
The residential buildings near the hospital corridor house many of these medical professionals, creating a neighborhood where the boundaries between residential life and healthcare work are blurred.
This seating area serves the medical community and residents of the Upper East Side's hospital corridor.
