900 Park Avenue is a Privately Owned Public Space on Park Avenue at 79th Street on the Upper East Side, providing outdoor seating on one of the most exclusive residential avenues in the world.
Park Avenue on the Upper East Side is defined by its grand pre-war apartment buildings, uniformed doormen, planted median, and an atmosphere of quiet affluence that has made it the aspirational address of the American upper class for over a century.
The 79th Street crosstown corridor connects Park Avenue to the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Fifth Avenue and to the East River Esplanade, making this POPS a waypoint between three of the Upper East Side's most important destinations.
Park Avenue's co-op boards are famously among the most selective in the city, screening potential buyers for financial qualifications and social standing. The avenue's exclusivity has made it both an object of aspiration and a symbol of New York's class divisions.
This seating area provides public outdoor space on what may be the most socially exclusive residential avenue in the world.
