400 East 71st Street is a Privately Owned Public Space on the Upper East Side, providing outdoor seating one block north of its sibling POPS at 400 East 70th Street, in the York Avenue medical campus corridor.
The cluster of POPS at residential buildings in the eastern Upper East Side 70s reflects the intensive apartment tower development that occurred near the York Avenue hospitals, providing housing for the medical community and nearby residents.
71st Street at this location is near the Ronald McDonald House, which provides temporary housing for families of children receiving treatment at the nearby hospitals. The presence of this institution underscores the medical character of the neighborhood.
The POPS serves residents and medical workers in a neighborhood where the daily reality of healthcare, from research to treatment to recovery, shapes the character of the surrounding streets.
This seating area provides outdoor space in Manhattan's hospital corridor, where residential life and world-class medicine share the same blocks.
