“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.
