1000 Park Avenue is an apartment building on the Upper East Side of the New York City borough of Manhattan.

The brown brick structure is 13 stories tall with some Gothic-inspired stone and terra cotta decoration.

[1][4] Among the former residents of the building are the British author P. G. Wodehouse,[5] James J. Rorimer, former Director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Nicola Kraus, co-author of the 2002 bestselling chick lit novel The Nanny Diaries.

[6] Another resident of 1000 Park named as a possible model for Mrs. X did not return phone calls from The New York Times requesting comment.

One even referred to Kraus as a "snitch" and suggested the co-op board should forbid residents from fictionalizing their neighbors' lives.
