Gramercy Park: Retaining Identity Amid Constant Change

On Sunday, July 13, I will lead a walking tour of the Gramercy Park neighborhood. My themes will be how much Gramercy Park has changed physically over the years, yet still remained "Gramercy Park," and the neighborhood's crucial role in the early history of gentrification in New York, around 1910. The walk is sponsored by the Municipal Art Society, costs $15 ($12 for MAS members), and lasts from 4pm to 6pm. The meeting place is SW corner of Third Avenue and 17th Street. Reservations are not required--just show up. The weather may not suck--at least no rain is predicted.
