885 Second Avenue is a Privately Owned Public Space in Midtown East near the United Nations, providing outdoor seating at a residential building between 47th and 48th Streets.
Second Avenue in the upper 40s serves as a commercial corridor for the Turtle Bay residential neighborhood and the diplomatic community associated with the nearby United Nations. The avenue's restaurants reflect the area's international population.
The POPS serves the cosmopolitan community of the UN district, where diplomats, international civil servants, and local residents share the neighborhood's restaurants, shops, and public spaces.
The Turtle Bay neighborhood's quiet residential streets, hidden between the busy avenues, provide an unexpected oasis of calm in the heart of Midtown. The POPS supplements this residential tranquility with outdoor seating on the avenue.
This seating area provides outdoor space in Manhattan's most internationally diverse neighborhood.
