“Kote vyann bèf la?” Men li menm, sou Gramercy Park.

Ansyen kay defen Cliff Freeman, lejand piblisite ki te dèyè kanpay ikonik Wendy’s la, “Kote vyann bèf la?”, sou mache a kounye a — yon rezidans inik nan Gramercy Park, ki gen anpil karaktè achitekti, yon istwa kreyatif ak anpil posiblite.

Men jan Cliff te dekri “ti bwat bijou” li a an 1993:
“Sa a se youn nan apatman ki pi atiran sou Gramercy Park, ak gwo fenèt ki bay sou pak la. Lide nou se te fè l parèt tankou yo pa t janm renove l, men pito tankou yon bijou achitekti ki te bati an 1929 nan estil gotik Tudor-Moderne. Nou pa t epanye okenn depans. Nou te fè yon chemine gotik an kalkè, kote nou te grave pawòl sa yo: ‘Pandan m t ap reflechi, dife a t ap boule’; epi nou te antoure l ak yon mozayik ki fèt espesyalman pou li. Yo te kraze pifò mi yo epi ranplase yo ak yon may metalik, siman ak andui, jan yo te konn fè sa lontan — yon atizan mèt te re-andui yo jiskaske yo te lis tankou yon glas. Atizan mèt David Heinz te fè ark an pye bwadchenn gotik yo ak anpil detay an mab espesyalman pou apatman an, nan Chicago.

Yo te refè planche yo ak bwa pye bwadchenn blan koupe an ka, nan modèl arèt pwason, ak bann dekoratif an bwa eboni. Tout twalèt ki fèt espesyalman pou apatman an gen sifas an dal mab, mèb twalèt pèsonalize ak pye plake nikèl antik, ansanm ak pyès metal ki soti nan P.E. Guerrin. Nan tout apatman an, w ap jwenn fenèt an vit plon, plint solid an pye bwadchenn 10 pous, moulen alamen, ak pòt epè, lou, ki gen panno. Kwizin nan, bibliyotèk la ak pandri yo gen panno an pye bwadchenn ki matche, yon atizan mèt nan epòk la te egzekite avèk anpil presizyon.”

Yon bwat bijou ki gen anpil posiblite

Jodi a, “ti bwat bijou” Cliff Freeman nan toujou konsève detay achitekti ak travay atizanal espesyal ki te fè l tèlman remakab. Menm si apatman an ta benefisye yon renovasyon reflechi pou l satisfè estanda modèn yo, karaktè ekstraòdinè li toujou la, epi opòtinite pou fè l tounen pwòp espas pa w la ap tann ou.

De chanm. Twa chanm. Se vizyon pa w.

Kounye a, apatman an gen de chanm ak de twalèt, men li gen posiblite pou l tounen yon kay ki gen twa chanm ak twa twalèt. Tanpri gade plan etaj altènatif la, ki montre posiblite sa a, kòm referans. Plan etaj ki parèt la montre aranjman Apatman 7C a. Sepandan, Apatman 6C gen yon chanm anplis yo te pran nan Apatman 6B ki toupre a sa gen plizyè ane — yon aranjman ki ta ka bay ide pou yon vizyon menm jan an pou rezidans sa a.

Se ou ki chwazi: retabli epi rafrechi “ti bwat bijou” orijinal Cliff la, pandan w ap respekte karaktè achitekti inik li, oswa reimajine l pou l tounen pwòp bijou pa w nan Gramercy Park, ak twa chanm ak twa twalèt.

“Where’s the Beef?” Right here on Gramercy Park.

The former home of the late Cliff Freeman, the advertising legend behind Wendy’s iconic “Where’s the beef?” campaign, is on the market – a one of a kind Gramercy Park residence rich in architectural character, creative history, and possibility.

As Cliff described his “little jewel box” in 1993:
"This is one of the most appealing apartments on Gramercy Park, featuring oversized windows facing the park. Our concept was to make it look as if it had never been renovated, but rather remained an architectural gem built in the Tudor Gothic-Moderne style of 1929. No expense was spared. We carved a Gothic limestone fireplace
inscribed with, "While I mused the fire burned"; surrounded by a custom mosaic. Most walls were torn down and replaced using wire lathe, cement, and plaster in the old manner—re-plastered by a master craftsman to a mirror-like smoothness. Gothic oak
arches with extensive marble inlay were custom-crafted in Chicago by master craftsman David Heinz.

The floors were redone in quartered white oak herringbone with ebony feature strips. All custom bathrooms showcase marble slab finishes, custom vanities with antique nickel-plated legs, and hardware from P.E. Guerrin. Throughout the apartment, you'll find leaded glass windows, 10-inch hand-milled solid oak baseboards, and thick, heavy
paneled doors. The kitchen, library, and closets feature matching oak paneling, meticulously executed by a master craftsman of the time."

A Jewel Box with Possibilities
Today, Cliff Freeman’s “little jewel box” retains the distinctive architectural details and craftsmanship that made it so special. While the apartment would benefit from a thoughtful update to meet modern standards, its extraordinary character remains and
the opportunity to make it your own awaits.

Two Bedrooms. Three Bedrooms. Your Vision.
Currently configured as a two-bedroom, two-bath residence, the apartment offers the potential to become a three-bedroom, three-bath home. Please see alternate floor plan that illustrates this possibility for reference. The floor plan shown reflects the layout of Apartment 7C. Apartment 6C, however, includes an additional bedroom acquired from neighboring Apartment 6B years ago—a
configuration that could inspire a similar vision for this residence.
The choice is yours: restore and refresh Cliff’s original “little jewel box,” honoring its singular architectural character, or reimagine it as your own three-bedroom, three-bath Gramercy Park gem.
