What is the name of the historic, private park in the Gramercy neighborhood that requires a key for entry, and how many keys are in circulation?

NoMad NYC, nestled north of Madison Square Park, offers a vibrant blend of history and modern energy between 25th and 30th Streets.

Sharing its borders with the iconic Flatiron District, the area is famous for its picturesque architecture, lush parks, and walkable streets.

Start your day at the serene Rubin Museum of Art and savor local favorites at Birch Coffee or the vintage Eisenberg’s Sandwich Shop.
