Michelin Travel & Lifestyle • February 19, 2013Farmland for Dutch colonists, a cemetery by the 1810s, a posh precinct when the arch arrived in 1889, and a counterculture hangout in the ‘60s, it’s now NYU’s hub. - Green Guide Editor
Eric R. • October 16, 2011Stumbling into the Cemetery upon the insistence of my dog, I was surprised to learn that this burial ground is a surprising vault of history and an official NYC landmark. Find out why.
Mark • September 3, 2011Actually a really peaceful place. No cars, no people. Just graves as far as the eye can see. You can't get that anywhere else in NYC. Great for a phone call, you have quiet and privacy.
Ronny O. • September 26, 2016The cemetery ground is very clean and well maintained. The only thing is that they need to build a bigger space from the crematorium.
Michael S. • August 5, 2013The Cemetery closes at 5:PM, the crips close at 4:PM. Only had a few minutes to visit after a ride in from the Island.
Lizzette F. • September 21, 2013Looks like an old ancient burial with waterfront view ---- very nice and calming especially with all the trees
Ami H. • April 19, 2022Resting place of such notables as boxer "Gentleman Jim" Corbett, actress Mae West, ballplayer Jackie Robinson, and Chinatown Godfather "Uncle Benny" Ong. Learn their stories, stop by and say hello.
Kris N. • January 3, 2022Gil Hodges' grave is located to the left of the main entrance, just on the other side of the circle in the road.
Brian M. • January 9, 2019Excellent, 5 star experience! Quentin aka Q came to my house on Staten Island on 12-14-18 at 1am to pick up my dog, Bandit, who had passed away. Quentin was so kind and caring, thank you again!
