Itinerario

1. Begin where old-money ambitions collided with working-class New York. Set the stage for the Gilded Age era, a term famously coined by Mark Twain, by exploring how staggering fortunes and political machines shaped the lives of both elite society families and working-class immigrants living in their shadows.

2. Trace the origins of Manhattan’s only private park. Peer through the historic wrought-iron fences into this exclusive sanctuary that has remained off-limits to the general public for nearly two centuries. Learn how real estate visionaries engineered this high-status enclave and explore how 19th-century townhouse design physically separated high-society residents from their domestic workers.

3. View a row of iconic architectural landmarks. Stop outside the Samuel Tilden Mansion (now the National Arts Club) designed by Calvert Vaux, step up to Edwin Booth’s exclusive Players Club, and view 19 Gramercy Park South, a grand home renovated by famed architect Stanford White and once owned by society leader Mamie Fish (inspiration for characters in The Age of Innocence and HBO's The Gilded Age). Hear stories of opulent galas and the massive team of domestic staff required to execute them.

4. Wander down one of Manhattan’s most picturesque side streets, celebrated for its gabled carriage houses, historic artist studios, and ornate architectural details. Discover how this pocket of the neighborhood became a sanctuary for Gilded Age trendsetters, interior design pioneers, and literary legends like O. Henry outside Pete’s Tavern, New York’s oldest continuously operating bar.

5. Examine 34 Gramercy Park East, New York’s very first cooperative apartment building, and the iconic site of the historic Gramercy Park Hotel. Conclude your journey discussing how high-society etiquette and luxury housing evolved over a century in a neighborhood remarkably frozen in time, finishing near vibrant historic spots on Irving Place.

About Nueva York

Nueva York reúne rascacielos, museos famosos, teatros de Broadway y decenas de barrios distintos en cinco distritos que laten de día y de noche.

Manhattan es la primera parada clásica. Times Square brilla sobre el barrio de los teatros, Central Park se extiende varias manzanas entre el Upper East Side y el Upper West Side, y el Empire State Building, el Chrysler Building y el Rockefeller Center definen el perfil de Midtown. En el sur, el Memorial del 11-S, Wall Street y el puente de Brooklyn están muy cerca unos de otros, y los barcos pasan junto a la Estatua de la Libertad hasta Ellis Island.

Top-ranked sights in Nueva York: Statue of Liberty, Central Park, National September 11 Memorial & Museum.
