The Neighborhood

Irving Place is one of Manhattan’s rare human scaled avenues. It has a rich historic background with the convenience of being so near one of the great New York City Hubs; Union Square. Irving Place includes a six block long extension of Lexington Avenue south of Gramercy Park which pays homage to one of early America’s greatest writers. It is an intimate neighborhood, filled with landmarked private houses, cafes, excellent restaurants, fitness clubs and sports centers. Most notable are the 150 year old Pete’s Tavern, which makes the claim to being the oldest continuously operating bar in New York City, and “Friend of a Farmer”, which features “fresh from the farm” custom omelets and seemingly always long lines to get in to its famous weekend brunches. Nearby are theaters, parks, the famous Union Square Farmers Market, Trader Joes, Whole Foods and several national clothing and electronics outlets.

Transportation:
Irving Place has some of the best access to transportation where seven subway lines, the 4, 5, 6, N, Q, R, and L subway trains, pass through nearby Union Square station. In addition, the PATH train to New Jersey is just a few blocks away. Most all of Manhattan neighborhoods and downtown Brooklyn, are at your fingertips.
Buses: M1, M2, M3, M101, M102, M103, M14 and M23 are the crosstown buses.
