Why We Love Gramercy?
Gramercy Park Insider
Gramercy Park was created in the early 19th century by Samuel B. Ruggles, an early real estate investor in the city. Ruggles envisioned a private park for the use of the owners of the mansions, townhouses, rowhouses, and houses of worship immediately surrounding the green space. The only private park still standing in the city, ownership of a key to the park is highly coveted because of the park’s meticulous maintenance and exclusivity. Today, fewer than 400 keys exist – that’s only .03% of Manhattan’s population who are permitted exclusive park access.
