What did I do this weekend? Walked around Greenwood Cemetery for 2.5 hours! It's 900 acres of amazing history, where you can find the likes of the Steinways, the Tiffany family, Currier and Ives, FAO Schwartz, Henry Ward Beecher...the list goes on!
The volunteer working the gate pointed us to this gravesite. The gentleman buried here was an Egyptologist, so they built his gravesite in the shape of a pyramid!
And then there is Lenny...Leonard Bernstein, buried here with his wife and sister on the highest point in Brooklyn (and an amazing view of the Statue of Liberty and lower Manhattan!)
What did you do this weekend?
