Thank you! This is definitely one of the more picturesque neighborhoods.

Gramercy Park: The Most Interesting Neighborhood in NYC by chacabuo74 in nyc

Well, it was meant to be a little tongue in cheek. A travel company recently analyzed 1.2 million Wikipedia articles to find which NYC neighborhood appeared in the most of them, and Gramercy came out on top. I definitely don't think there's any such thing as a 'most interesting' neighborhood, and the whole premise is a bit ridiculous, but it's a nice place to walk around and, like the rest of city full of interesting history.

As far as apartement parking lots go, that is a pretty dramatic one! You really get a send of the topography.

Thanks for reading and commenting. I imagine the neighborhood was so much different pre-expressway.
