gramercy park

Nestled between Midtown and Downtown, the leafy Gramercy Park neighborhood pairs a small-town village sensibility with outstanding accessibility. In this small 36-square-block enclave, you'll find some of the city's most beautiful historic architecture, including stately cooperatives and majestic brownstones, within easy reach of 14th Street amenities and Union Square transportation.

Gramercy Park

A key to private Gramercy Park has long been held as one of the most prized possessions for Manhattanites. Available to residents in just 39 adjacent buildings, keys are a rare commodity indeed. However, for one hour every Christmas Eve, any New Yorker can visit the park to sing carols and admire the Christmas tree. Or, simply head to Google Maps for a clandestine virtual tour any time of year.

Historic Squares

While named for its centerpiece private park, the Gramercy Park neighborhood is also graced by two squares with appeal all their own. Built in the mid-1800s, Stuyvesant Square invites you to step back in time alongside fountains, bluestone promenades and the oldest cast-iron fence in the city. Opened in 1839, Union Square has long been a center of public life, including strikes and protests. Here, you'll find the Parks Department's oldest statue, the bronze depiction of George Washington at the south end of the square, and the city's largest year-round greenmarket.

Irving Plaza

Set within four 150-year-old townhouses, Irving Plaza has served as an entertainment venue and city gathering spot since 1927. From a union meeting house to a Polish Army Veteran community center, Irving Plaza has evolved into a world-class concert stage that has hosted everyone from Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie to Talking Heads, the Ramones and U2.

Pete's Tavern

One of a few spots vying for the title of oldest bar in New York City, Pete's Tavern has quenched the appetites and thirsts of residents since 1864. Today, it's known as a staple in the community serving outstanding Italian-American fare, great beer and the kind of hospitality that made O. Henry a loyal regular.
