In addition to being a historical site, Green-Wood is of course the site of many famous burials.
Leonard Bernstein, who was born on August 25, 1918, snagged himself a really good spot not far from the Civil War Monument.
BTW, he died on October 14, 1990 in The Dakota on the UWS.
Other famous residents whose graves we did not stumble upon included Louis Comfort Tiffany, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Boss Tweed.
Maybe next time.
I should also probably check out who was responsible for this pyramid.
They have a really interesting website which mentions all kinds of programs.
Today is “Battle of Brooklyn Day.” It’s billed as a family-friendly event with costumed characters and colonial music.
That sounds a lot more appealing to me than next month’s event – Death Café on Zoom.
Different strokes for different folks.
Here’s a previous Green-Wood Cemetery blog...
