Murray Hill Mews

Murray Hill Mews at 570 First Avenue is a Privately Owned Public Space in the Murray Hill / Kips Bay area, providing outdoor seating at a named residential building near the NYU Langone Medical Center.

The building's 'Mews' name references the traditional London term for a row of houses converted from stables along a narrow lane. In Manhattan, the term evokes the intimate, residential character of certain quiet side streets and courtyards.

First Avenue in the 30s is dominated by the medical campus corridor, with NYU Langone and Bellevue Hospital creating one of the most significant concentrations of healthcare institutions in the country.

The POPS serves the residential and medical community of eastern Murray Hill, where apartment living and hospital work are intertwined in the daily life of the neighborhood.

This seating area provides outdoor space at a building whose name evokes residential intimacy in a neighborhood defined by the presence of world-class medicine.
