If you've fallen for the apartment Michael and Colin share on Uncoupled, you're not alone. The quintessential New York apartment with its picture windows, perfectly appointed interiors, and prewar details, Michael's pad is a million-dollar dream come true. Michael's apartment is set at 44 Gramercy Park North, one of the landmark buildings on Gramercy Park. Dating back to 1929, the prewar building consists of 75 upscale apartments spread across 15 floors. Designed by Schwartz and Gross, a leading architectural firm that designed numerous apartment buildings in the city during the first half of the 20th century, the Gramercy Park landmark features Neo-Gothic details that include a limestone arch and casement windows, with terra-cotta panels and brickwork. The average price in the building is $1,327/square foot, according to CityRealty.
Sunnyside Gardens Park is one of only two private residential parks in the city. The other is Gramercy Park in Manhattan, which is much more elite and whose owners would probably scoff at the idea of extending access to outsiders.
A visit to the Gramercy Park neighborhood, on the East Side of Manhattan, can be frustrating ... But the easily walkable neighborhood deserves a tour ...
Gramercy is one of two private parks in New York City (the other, in Queens, is Sunnyside Gardens Park) and a key is required not only to enter, but to leave through a gate in its wraparound wrought-iron fence.
More or less at the center of New York's current binge of tearing down the old and putting up the new, a small sector successfully resists, much like a Victorian gentleman who has refused to die.
Most distinctive of all is that Gramercy Park itself is the only private park in the city. Landscaped and leafy, the park defines the neighborhood, which runs from 14th to 23d streets and Park Avenue South to Third Avenue. The gates are locked for all but one afternoon a year, usually the first Saturday in May, when the park is open to the public.
