[QUOTE="Ssussunriyh, post: 2564412"] My tour guide shows nothing noteworthy in the immediate vicinity of 3rd & 102nd. On the southwest corner (more like due south, given the orientation of the streets) of W. 11th & Hudson is a place called the White Horse Tavern, where the poet Dylan Thomas drank himself to death in the corner of the bar. The apocryphal story still circulating is that his last words were: "I've had 19 straight whiskeys. I believe that's the record..." (The main attraction here is the history, not the food. Relatively good burgers and okay fries.) 21st St. between Lexington & 3rd is the Grammercy Park Historic District, modeled after a London square ringed by 19th century neoclassical townhouses. On the northwest corner of 21st & Lexington, facing the park, is the Grammercy Park Hotel, with sensibly-priced accomodations and a relaxed Old World style, popular with European travelers. Grammercy Park itself is the sole surviving "private park" in NYC - only surrounding residents (and hotel guests) have keys to get in. [/QUOTE]
