2. Trace the origins of Manhattan’s only private park.

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.

Henry outside Pete’s Tavern, New York’s oldest continuously operating bar.
