I love taking long walks through the city on Sundays, wandering aimlessly like I'm Ibn Battuta. Not all those who wander are lost hahahaahahaah.I am walking west on E 20th St and see the most well kept, beautiful park I have seen in long time. Especially in NYC.Flowers are BLOOMING a beautiful white-ish pink straight out a Monet painting. Think the Japanese Cherry Blossom that bloom in the spring (yeah I've been to Japan haha *smiley face*).Cobblestone streets line the entry and exits, and it is how I imagine the Medici's private grounds would have been if they were influenced by the Japanese.I took a few laps around the outside of the park, trying to find an entrance but every gate was locked so I was a bit confused. However, I saw people in there so I opened my Yelp app to get some intel.I saw that this was a private park for residents of the surrounding area only. Now I wanted to get in 100x more.I thought about jumping the fence, but that just would have been in bad taste.I began to circle this park like a Hawk circling a small mammal in the desert, waiting for my opportunity to strike.Jk. I think it's important to respect the exclusivity.But as two gentleman were walking out, I took a hard first step in and as I thought it would be funny to see how they reacted.They were a little startled and then laughed in relief when I said I was just messin. I probably shouldn't have done that. Idk, sometimes I just do think for my own entertainment but that may be a selfish endeavor. Sorry fellas.Would love to actually get in here and post up one day!!!

Lovely area of historic buildings. Felt safe wandering around, but the park itself is out of bounds to visitors. Instead, I would recommend a walk to Madison Square Park.

One of the prettiest parts of NYC, very classy 19th Century. Lovely apartment buildings all around. Sad that the pretty park in the middle of the square is a private park and cannot be used by the public.

Gramercy Park is really nice. Located at the end of Lexington Ave. nice statutes and benches to relax on. It’s a decent size.

I would give 5 stars but for the fact that we tourists have no access to this private park. But the neighborhood and especially the houses lining the square are superb and evocative of classic lovely 19th Century NY. We always come here just to stroll around.
