39 Gramercy Park North, Gramercy, Manhattan, NY 10010

What is the key to Gramercy’s alluring aura? It could be its central location within short distances of multiple subway and bus stops. Or maybe it has to do with the culture — the performing arts venues and the countless excellent restaurants around every corner. Perhaps people are drawn by the history of famous residents, including icons of the stage, page, and screen. All are plausible, but everything comes back to the park in the end. Gramercy Park is literally held under lock and key, only accessible to those living in the immediately surrounding buildings, creating an unmistakable air of grandeur. However, it certainly helps that the exquisite townhouses and apartment buildings that border the renowned private square rise to meet its splendor, showing off celebrated 19th-century architectural styles. The Gramercy Park Historic District and local advocates help bolster preservation efforts, creating a neighborhood that feels the exact right amount of quaint.
