This bed and breakfast charmed us with its flair for intimate accommodations and astounded us with its moderate rates. Located in a five-story brownstone just off of York Avenue, the Gracie Inn is off the beaten path. However, it's secluded in a more intimate than inconvenient sense of the word. Carl Shultz Park on the East River is just around the corner, and there are many small restaurants in the area.
There are no identical rooms at the Gracie. Tastefully furnished with country décor, each has an individual flourish. Our room was softly lit and dominated by a luxurious iron bed frame topped with classic linens. Between two curtained windows we had a small café table. The kitchen nook was small but well-equipped with a stove and fridge. Off the main room, a smaller room was furnished with a day bed, great for kids.
It would be difficult to find another penthouse on the East Side at such a reasonable rate. So if you're traveling in a Cheapo flock, take advantage of one of the two offered at Gracie Inn. Both feature access to the sundeck. |
