From its 1913 completion until it was converted to apartments in 1965, this was the Vanderbilt Hotel, one of the city's most fashionable in the early 20th Century. Singer Enrico Caruso lived here in 1920 and 1921, his last U.S. home. The Vanderbilt Hotel was purchased by the Manger Hotel chain in 1941 and was the headquarters of the Manger chain from 1941-1966 when it was sold. The Vanderbilt was renamed the Manger-Vanderbilt and was one of the premeir hotel properties of the Manger chain which was a leading privately owned national hotel chain at the time. Underneath this building is Wolfgang's Steakhouse, run by the Wolfgang Zwiener, who was the legendary headwaiter at Peter Luger's for 40 years (though he got his start at Luchow's). The space, recently called Vanderbilt Station, was famous as the Della Robbia Bar, aka The Crypt. The vaulted Gaustavino ceiling is the big claim to fame. The rumor that this used to be Commodore Vanderbilt's secret private subway station seems not to be true.

How do you get from Penn Station to 49th Street and Park Avenue?
First, are you absolutely sure that you're going to Park Avenue, not Park Avenue South? Because there is a 250 Park Avenue, and also a 250 Park Avenue South. If you're sure it's regular Park Avenue you're going to, then you are headed to East 47th Street. Getting there is pretty straightforward. When you exit Penn Station, you will come out either at the West entrance or the East entrance. The West entrance is between West 33rd and West 34th, on 8th Avenue, and the East entrance is between West 33rd and West 34th on 7th Avenue. Walk east on 33rd or 34th until you hit Park Avenue (three to four avenue blocks). At Park Avenue, turn left, and walk north to East 47th Street. The address -- 250 Park Avenue -- is between East 46th and East 47th, but closer to 47th. If it's Park Avenue South you're looking for, then the directions are almost the same, except when you hit Park Avenue, you need to turn right, and walk south until you get to East 20th Street. The address -- 250 Park Avenue South -- is on or near the corner of 20th.
