A Renwick masterpiece, this beautiful 1846 church is a calm respite in the Village.

The balconied, wooden, country home built by merchant Archibald Gracie in 1799 was the original home of the Museum of the City of New York and became the official residence of Mayor under Fiorello LaGuardia in 1942. It is located at the northern end of a park laid out in 1891, with a wide promenade that stretches along the East River. The park was named for a prominent statesman and newspaper editor who lived in the neighborhood.

Samuel Ruggles laid out this neighborhood around a private park in the 1830s. It remains the city’s only private park and a desirable place to live. Stanford White remodeled No. 16 in 1888 for Edwin Booth, who founded the Players Club here. His statue stands in the park.

Another Danny Meyer success, this is perhaps New York’s most unpretentious fine dining. Tom Colicchio’s inventive American cuisine is universally praised. No reservations are needed for the less expensive Tavern area (see Gramercy Tavern).

Like its sister TriBeCa Grand, the SoHo Grand is a neighborhood nightlife mecca, comfortable, softly lit, with food if you want it, and filled with beautiful people.
