POPS - Outdoor Seating

444 East 86th Street is a Privately Owned Public Space in Yorkville on the 86th Street commercial corridor, providing outdoor seating at a residential building between First and York Avenues.

86th Street is the traditional Main Street of the Upper East Side, with the most concentrated retail, dining, and transit services on the East Side. The Second Avenue subway station at 86th Street has further enhanced the corridor's importance.

The 86th Street corridor was historically the center of Yorkville's German-American community, with Schaller and Weber (a German butcher shop operating since 1937), Heidelberg Restaurant, and other institutions preserving traces of this heritage.

The POPS serves the residential community along the busiest commercial corridor on the Upper East Side, providing outdoor seating steps from the neighborhood's most important shopping and transit street.

This seating area offers a residential respite along Yorkville's commercial Main Street.
