POPS - Outdoor Seating

525 East 72nd Street is a Privately Owned Public Space on the Upper East Side across the street from its sibling POPS at 524 East 72nd, providing outdoor seating near the East River.

The cluster of POPS at the eastern end of 72nd Street reflects the intensive residential development that has occurred along the river's edge, where apartment towers take advantage of waterfront views and esplanade access.

The Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center campus on York Avenue is nearby, one of the world's leading cancer treatment and research institutions. The hospital's presence gives this section of the Upper East Side a medical campus character.

The POPS serves the residential and medical community of the far-eastern Upper East Side, providing outdoor space near the waterfront and one of the most important cancer centers in the world.

This seating area provides outdoor amenity in the residential corridor between the Upper East Side's hospital campus and the East River.
