Who thinks of a cemetery as great place to take a walking tour? I do! This is a beautiful place and the stories you hear in this walking tour is worth your time. Bring a lunch and stay for a picnic under one of the many magnificent trees. You’re going to learn things you never knew about some well known New Yorkers.

The stories really bring the buildings and their occupants to life and put them in perspective! Easy to follow directions, additional bits of information, background music and audio effects enhance the stories without overwhelming the listener. A great NY experience in a beautiful place without the tourists. Highly recommend.
