PLAN
We'll be starting from Barnes & Noble Bookstore at 33 E, 17th Street in Manhattan. From here we'll head East, across Park Ave. So. and officially enter the Gramercy Park neighborhood. We'll cover a few literary spots along the way, see the only private park in Manhattan, pause in front of one of NYC's oldest pub's from 1867, stop in front of the Players Club plus the National Arts Club, the Gramercy Hotel, and more. We'll head up to Baruch College and the Freehand Hotel, most northern edge of Gramercy as thought by some.
