The statue of Edwin Booth as Hamlet, by Edmond T. Quinn, was put in place at the center of Gramercy Park by the Players' Club in 1916
I've been back in New York City for over two weeks, but it's been tough getting back into my routine, which is apparent from my lack of posts this month. But the slow days of summer are over and the pace of life is picking up in the city and I'm going to pick up my blogging pace, too.
Last Friday when I made my visit to Hogwarts, I also made a visit to one of my favorite spots in Manhattan, Gramercy Park. Gramercy Park is a two acre private park -- one of two remaining in New York City -- established in 1831. The park is surrounding by private homes, apartment buildings and private clubs. The only people who have a key to the park are those who live around the park and pay an annual fee.
I don't have a key and this was as close as I got to the park
I vote for this house on East 19th Street as the cutest house in Manhattan.
Do I hear a second? The house isn't on Gramercy Park, but the next street over.
I hope you've enjoyed our visit and this ramble around a corner of the city. I hope to do at least one ramble a week exploring different corners and sharing them with Buttercupland.
California friends, please take care of yourselves. Hoping that 110 degrees will soon be just an unpleasant memory.
As ever, thanks for visiting and take good care.
