Stuyvesant Town is a large residential development that opened in 1947 in lower east Manhattan. It is a sprawling collection of red brick apartment buildings stretching from First Avenue to Avenue C, between 14th and 20th Streets. It is bordered by the East River on the East, Gramercy Park on the West, the East Village (or Alphabet City) to the South, and Kip's Bay to the North. This area is notable for historic Stuyvesant Square, a two-block park surrounded by the old Stuyvesant High School, Saint George's Church, and the Beth Israel Hospital.
