What creators say

  • “ok this is the premium crying location. 478 acres of victorian gothic mausoleums, rolling hills, certified arboretum, 600,000 people buried here including leonard bernstein — and the social contract inside a cemetery is that everyone is already in their feelings, so you being in yours is completely appropriate and nobody will look at you. reviewers describe coming here 'to clear my head, I love the quiet peacefulness of this place' and call it 'a place to walk through in silence' with 'views of manhattan that make it even more special' — the manhattan skyline visible from the hilltops is the specific detail that will get you. open 7am–7pm daily, free, takes a full two hours minimum to process properly.”
