NYC (P) Private Walking Tour of Gramercy Park Area - 11am ET - An Explore NYC event

Saturday, June 17, 2023, 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM


Have you ever walked by Manhattan's private Gramercy Park and wondered why its gates are locked to the public? Now's your chance to learn why!


Join us on Saturday morning for a Private Walking Tour of the historic Gramercy Park area led by Lucie Levine, TTNers’ favorite tour guide. Gramercy Park, the city's only private park, is surrounded by some of Manhattan's stateliest architecture. 

This tour will explore the environs of Irving Place and Gramercy, with a focus on the two landmarked historic districts in the neighborhood.
Covering not only the history and architecture of 1840s - 1850s New York, this tour will also delve into the stories of the artists, writers, inventors, and politicians who have called the neighborhood home.

After the tour you can join fellow TTNers for (pay-your-own) lunch at a nearby restaurant.

NOTE: Walking Tours are rain or shine, and will not be re-scheduled unless a National Weather Service Emergency is issued. Please wear comfortable shoes, bring water and an umbrella, if there is a chance of rain.
