825 Seventh Avenue
This plaza strip extends at right angles from the northeast corner of West 53rd Street and Seventh Avenue. A planter with a spiked ledge is located in the northernmost portion of the space on Seventh Avenue. At a recent site visit, a restaurant had placed its tables and chairs within a perimeter of planters in the southern portion of the space on Seventh Avenue. No record of City approval has been found.
A restaurant at the northeast corner of 7th and 53rd has since removed its planters which had previously sectioned off a portion of the space for private enterprise (according to this website).
825 Seventh is undergoing a renovation,and scaffolding dominates this plaza strip
