515 East 79th Street is a Privately Owned Public Space in the Yorkville section of the Upper East Side, providing outdoor seating at a residential building near the East River.
The far-eastern blocks of 79th Street approach the FDR Drive and the East River Esplanade, which provides continuous waterfront access along the East Side. The 79th Street pedestrian bridge over the FDR Drive is one of the most used crossings to the waterfront.
The East River at this location offers views of Roosevelt Island and the ruins of the Smallpox Hospital, a hauntingly beautiful Gothic Revival structure that has been preserved as a landmark ruin on the island's southern tip.
The POPS serves residents of the far-eastern Upper East Side, where the proximity to the river and the esplanade provides a waterfront lifestyle within the city.
This seating area provides outdoor space near the East River and the views of one of the most evocative ruins in New York City.
