65 East 55th Street is a Privately Owned Public Space in Midtown East, providing an indoor through-block connection between Madison and Park Avenues on the 55th Street block.
The blocks between Madison and Park Avenues in the 50s represent some of the most expensive commercial real estate in the world. Through-block POPS in this area provide essential pedestrian relief in a district where the sidewalks are consistently overcrowded.
East 55th Street between the avenues is lined with corporate offices, luxury retail, and high-end restaurants that serve the Midtown business community. The Four Seasons Restaurant, which operated nearby for 57 years, set the standard for power dining in this corridor.
The POPS provides a weather-protected pedestrian connection between two of the most prestigious avenues in the world, serving the daily population of one of the most commercially intensive districts on Earth.
This through-block passage provides public transit between Madison and Park Avenues in the heart of Manhattan's corporate elite.
