747 Third Avenue is a Privately Owned Public Space on Third Avenue at 47th Street in Midtown East, providing an outdoor plaza in the commercial corridor between Grand Central Terminal and the United Nations.
Third Avenue in the upper 40s is a busy commercial corridor serving the Midtown East office district. The avenue's postwar reconstruction after the elevated railway's removal created a boulevard of modern office towers that replaced the older, shadowed streetscape.
The Diamond District on West 47th Street is one block to the west, connecting this section of Third Avenue to the world's largest concentration of diamond dealers and jewelry manufacturers.
The POPS serves the Midtown East office community with outdoor seating on an avenue that is heavily used by commuters walking between Grand Central Terminal and their offices in the upper 40s and 50s.
This plaza provides public outdoor space on a Midtown avenue that connects the world of finance to the world of diamonds.
