425 Fifth Avenue is a Privately Owned Public Space on Fifth Avenue in the Murray Hill / Midtown area, providing an outdoor plaza on one of the world's most famous commercial streets.
Fifth Avenue at 38th Street is in the section of the avenue between the Empire State Building (34th Street) and the New York Public Library (42nd Street), two of Manhattan's most iconic landmarks. This stretch has a mix of office buildings, retail, and residential towers.
The nearby Morgan Library and Museum on Madison Avenue at 36th Street houses the extraordinary collection of rare books, manuscripts, and art assembled by financier J.P. Morgan. The library's McKim, Mead and White building is an architectural masterpiece.
Fifth Avenue's commercial character changes as it moves northward: the 30s are more eclectic, the 40s and 50s are luxury retail, and the 60s through 80s are the Museum Mile. The POPS serves the avenue's varied 30s section.
This plaza provides public space on Fifth Avenue between two of New York's most celebrated landmarks.
