Gramercy |
|
|
The Gramercy neighborhood, located in Manhattan, gets its name from Gramercy Park. Gramercy Park is a private park located between East 20th and 21st Streets at the foot of Lexington Avenue.
The Park is open only to people who live around the park and are given a key to it. However, once a year the public is invited into the park. Gramercy is generally considered to be the area bound by 14th Street, First Avenue and Broadway. The northern boundary of Gramercy meets the Murray Hill section of Midtown in the area of 29th and 30th Street. Particularly the area surrounding Gramercy Park, the neighborhood is perceived as one of Manhattan’s most peaceful and quietest neighborhoods. The area has a number of beautiful prewar co-ops and townhouses. It is also a difficult neighborhood to find a residence in. With few people moving out, it’s said of Gramercy that “Whoever moves here stays here.” Unfortunately, that also means that newcomers desiring to move into the neighborhood will have a tough time finding a place, but it is possible to rent or buy in the area. In fact, if you find a place in Gramercy you might even have the luxury of owning a Key to Gramercy Park. The area is also known for the Gramercy Park Hotel, where guests receive a key to the park while staying there, as well as a number of popular restaurants, bars, and establishments that line Irving Place, the thoroughfare of Gramercy below the park. The nightlife and cuisine in the Gramercy Park neighborhood is amazing, so you owe it to yourself to at least visit and try it out. |
