One of my favorite NYC spots

The gate into the still-private Gramercy Park. Only residents of the buildings immediately surrounding the park are allowed keys. Which, in the city that welcomes just about everyone, makes the park a glorious bastion of privacy and exclusivity. It is therefore prejudice against people who can't afford a Gramercy Park apartment? Yes, and so what? Would I horde my key like Ebenezer Scrooge if I lived there? You're damn right I would.
