About Gramercy NYC
Gramercy, also called Gramercy Park, is a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Manhattan, focused around Gramercy Park, a private park between East 20th and 21st Streets at the foot of Lexington Avenue. The area is named for a stream which meandered like a 'crooked little knife,' or 'Crom messie' in old Dutch ('Krom mesje').
Roughly speaking, Gramercy is bound by 14th Street, First Avenue, 30th
Street, and Broadway. Some consider its northern boundary to be 23rd
Street, and consider the area north of 23rd Street to be Rose Hill,
though the usage of Rose Hill has never entered the popular lexicon.
Others refer to the area north of 23rd Street as Curry Hill. Today,
the northern boundary of Gramercy more likely meets the Murray Hill
section of Midtown at around 30th Street. To the west is the Flatiron
District and Union Square, to the south the East Village, and to the
east Stuyvesant Town.
Gramercy, particularly the area immediately around Gramercy Park itself,
is generally perceived to be a quiet area, safer than many other parts
of the city. Gramercy Park is a private park, to which only people residing
around the park have a key. The public is otherwise only allowed in
the park one day a year. The actor James Cagney once lived in one of
the buildings on Gramercy Park South (East 20th Street), as did Margaret
Hamilton, who played the Wicked Witch of the West the 1939 movie The
Wizard of Oz. Amanda Peet grew up on the park. Many actors, actresses
and artists live in the district including Jimmy Fallon of Saturday
Night Live, Kate Hudson, Julia Roberts and Rufus Wainwright. Due to
the beauty and exclusivity of the park as well as the National Arts
Club and The Players' Club located on its south side, it is not uncommon
to recognize a face or two.
President Theodore Roosevelt was born in Gramercy.
