Around Gramercy
The peaceful oasis attracts all kinds of New Yorkers with the pursuit of peace in common. Top real estate borders Gramercy Park, but streets like 21st stretch all the way to the East River in tree-lined beauty. There’s a mix of almost everything in Gramercy, except high rises. Expect to see doorman buildings next to stunning standalones. The further east you venture, the more walk ups you’ll discover, plus the closer to the subway options you’ll be.
Dining options in Gramercy seem to be consistently good due to it being considered a central meeting place between uptown and downtown. If it’s an occasion worth celebrating, consider Maialino located inside of the Gramercy Park Hotel, which is the first spot to come to mind when most people think of dinner in Gramercy. If it's something a touch more informal, try L’Express of Friend of a Farmer. No matter where you end up, you’ll always find the trademark glamour of the neighborhood.
Moving past Gramercy Park, which opens one day a year on Christmas Eve for non-resident access, the neighborhood is regarded as the most beautiful in all of Manhattan. Hanging bushes and flower boxes are fixed to most buildings. There’s a laid-back feeling that fills even the most upscale of restaurants there. Stuyvesant Square Park is a meeting spot for all kinds of people, making it prime people watching. Walking a short distance to the piers on the East River is about as close as you’ll get to nature if you don’t have a key to the park.
Lean on the neighboring East Village for a little jump start to your Friday night. Try a number of spots on 2nd Avenue or opt to see a film at Village East. Take the long walk back to Gramercy, stopping at Caffè Panna for an espresso or a gelato before ending up at Molly’s Shebeen for a massive burger or perhaps Casa Mono for a little more refined approach to tapas.
The best Sunday starts with a trip to Irving Farm. Make a second stop at Danny Meyers’ Daily Provisions, a staple in the neighborhood for breads and pastries. It’s a no-brainer to make the most of access to Gramercy Park, if a key is in your possession. Stop at the Strand for a new novel or a hard-to-find copy of a book and take a walk through Union Square, making any shopping pit stops as necessary. See an off-Broadway show downtown or take the short walk to the Theater District for a last-minute show.
Gramercy is unusually accessible for the east side of Manhattan. Take the R, N, 4, and 6 trains almost directly to the center of the neighborhood or opt for a short walk from the L train. Bus lines like the M101 and M102 run through, as well. Walking is usually the easiest and most scenic option for those who call Gramercy home. Soho, Chelsea, and the East Village are all under a comfortable 20 minutes by foot
