Tucked right in the middle of the block between 8th and 9th Ave and 49th and 50th St, Urban Plaza is part of the broader World Wide Plaza development. A clean and open plaza with plenty of places to sit, anchored on each side by two restaurants, multiple other eateries and a Starbucks, it's the perfect place to rest and people watch. More importantly, if you are in town for a show and don't want to fight the crowds in a restaurant, it's a perfect place to take your take-out and eat as there are plenty of available tables, a public restroom (accessible via the on-site security personnel) and other amenities. For as many times as I have been there, it's never felt too crowded but always feels alive and happening.
