Rute

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.

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 New York City

New York City pakker skyskrapere, berømte museer, Broadway og dusinvis av egne bydeler inn i fem bydelsområder som koker dag og natt.

Manhattan er det klassiske første stoppet. Times Square gløder over teaterdistriktet, Central Park strekker seg kvartal etter kvartal mellom Upper East Side og Upper West Side, og Empire State Building, Chrysler Building og Rockefeller Center former silhuetten i Midtown. I Downtown ligger 9/11-minnesmerket, Wall Street og Brooklyn Bridge tett sammen, og båter går forbi Frihetsgudinnen til Ellis Island.

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