Neighborhoods
Gramercy ParkGramercy Park
The neighborhood is an odd mix of New York in the 1880s, as you circle around Gramercy Park with its beautiful old world charm, and the modern, rather hectic life of the 21st century. Gramercy Park is the sole surviving “private residential park” in the city and is surrounded by landmark townhouses and pre-war buildings. Just outside the quiet boundaries of the Park, the city bursts into life again offering every type of dwelling from luxury high-rise living to warehouses converted into loft spaces, and every type of venue from nightclubs to a huge open-air farmer’s market in Union Square. Some of the notable stores in this area include ABC Carpet & Home and Paragon Sports (both on Broadway at 17th and 18th Streets). There is a plethora of great dining in the area (Blue Water Grill, Gramercy Tavern, and Havana Central) and plenty of nightlife. Great spots for a drink after work, followed by dinner, abound on Park Avenue South.
