Located between 18th and 23rd Streets to the east of Park Avenue, Gramercy Park can take you back in time. It’s a neighborhood of elegant brownstones, quaint hotels and venerable restaurants that once served celebrities like Fiorello LaGuardia and Dorothy Parker. Not every block of this diverse neighborhood is historic; it borders some of New York’s trendiest spots, such as the ultra-cool restaurants of Park Avenue South. But you’re never far from Old New York when you’re in Gramercy Park.

Attractions
Gramercy Park is named for the only private park in Manhattan: a two-acre square at the end of Irving Place and Lexington Avenue.
Only residents of the surrounding townhouses and Gramercy Park Hotel have keys to the park, but it lends a feeling of genteel privacy to the entire neighborhood. The area has one of New York’s highest concentrations of landmark-protected buildings.
