Neighborhood: Gramercy Park

by William Bekisz

Gramercy Park is one of the most peaceful and exclusive neighborhoods in Manhattan filled with quaint beautiful brownstones and town houses. Located near the East Village and SoHo, it is named for both the small, fenced-in private park and the surrounding neighborhood that is referred to also as Gramercy. 

The neighborhood is bordered on the south by Union Square, on west by the Flatiron District, and to the north by 23rd Street. Although, Gramercy’s green space is only open to the residents, but the surrounding bars, bodegas, and cafes in neighborhood gladly welcome guests, and it is still a very pleasant, quiet area to take a walk in.
