    Gramercy Park, which sits between Lexington Avenue and Irving Place between 20th and 21st Streets in Manhattan, is a locked private park. At the center of the park is a statute of Edwin Booth, a 19th century actor today best known for being the less murderous sibling of John Wilkes Booth.

    Only residents of the surrounding buildings are issued keys. There are a lot of rules, including against photography, so this is as close as we get. If you have to ask, you don’t belong. Go away.

      @mattblaze@federate.social one of my favorite factoids is Edwin Booth saved the life of Robert Todd Lincoln in Jersey City only months before the assassination.
