POPS - Outdoor Plaza

Lincoln Plaza Towers at 44 West 62nd Street is a Privately Owned Public Space on the Upper West Side near Lincoln Center, providing an outdoor plaza at a residential building on the campus perimeter.

Lincoln Center's cultural footprint extends beyond its formal campus to include the surrounding residential and commercial buildings that house performers, audiences, students, and the support infrastructure of one of the world's great performing arts complexes.

The Lincoln Plaza Cinema, which operated near this address until 2018, was one of Manhattan's most beloved art-house movie theaters. Its closure was mourned by the Upper West Side's culturally engaged community.

The POPS serves the Lincoln Center residential community, where the performing arts are not just an occasional diversion but a daily reality that shapes the neighborhood's identity, economy, and social life.

This plaza provides public outdoor space at the residential edge of the world's most important performing arts campus.
