[edit] Similarities with London
As someone who grew up in New York City, then spent many years in London; I can't escape the strong persistence of London feeling in the architecture and ambience of Gramercy. Note, for instance, that small, private parks are quite characteristic of many a peaceful London neighbourhood. One could easily imagine that at one time large parts of New York might have been fashioned after London, and that Gramercy exists as a remnant.
I understand that vague musings have no place in an encyclapedia, but in writing I hoped to encourage more knowledgeable readers to include an entry about similarities between Gramercy and London.
