Gramercy - Union Square, New York Vacation Rentals

Gramercy is a neighborhood named after the park it surrounds and Union Square is one of the city's most vibrant squares. The neighborhood is located east of Fifth Avenue between 23rd Street and 14th Street. Gramercy Park is one of the two private parks still left in New York City. The inhabitants of the houses on all sides of the park are the owners of the park and they have private key access to the park. The Players Club which stands on one corner of the park had been the home of Edwin Booth a famous actor in the mid 1800's. A statue of Booth now stands in the middle of the park's fountain.
