Our website is a digital space for collaboration about physical space. We invite you to participate  in the creation of knowledge designed to secure greater public use of New York City’s 525 or so POPS, those zoning-created plazas, arcades, and other outdoor and indoor privately owned public spaces. Here is an archive of comments from visitors like you.

Alexander R. Sigrist on 6 East 43rd Street:
The plaza remains largely the same as in the description from 2000 with two large planters in the middle of the space and a driveway occupying the western corner. The canopy still sits in the same location as do the revolving doors for the building. However one of the planters has been filled in with a large statue dedicated as a 9-11 memorial. It depicts a fireman kneeling and commemorates the public servants who perished on that day, which is described on several plaques at the base of the statue. Two other plaques further explain the private organization's (the organization occupying the building behind the plaza) history and connection to the loss incurred on 9-11. It is curious that during the redesign for the statue, that no attempts were made to elevate the height of the planter's ledges to provide seating for the public to observe the statue. Nowhere on the premises is there seating afforded to the public nor is there any indication that this is a public space and not the private property of the organization. Considering the installation of the statue and the significance it holds regarding the organization it is possible that the space appears to be less unambiguously public than prior.
Kaja Kühl on 230 Ashland Place:
with all the construction around here, this plaza serves as a great shaded spot for construction workers to have lunch. But I noticed the "post-occupy" signage that seems a little odd. "not tents, no lying on the ground,..." We always seemed to be preoccupied with preventing the last incident, not the next.

Always closes before 6 (around 5:50) rather than the required 11:30 pm in summer

The POPS at 135 W 52nd has been closed to the public for a year since the construction was completed.

Heidi Curtiss on 55 East 52nd Street:
Is there a public piano located in this space? Our nonprofit is looking to raise awareness and celebrate classical music during National Classical Music month (September). We are organizing PFClassical pop-up concerts on Thursday September 14, 2017 from 1-2pm and would like to know if any POPS have pianos that our volunteers could play on for the public. thank you- Heidi Curtiss Executive Director The Piatigorsky Foundation
