    when we went to the catacombs it was at night it was part of a play. The catacombs where awesome the play not so much.
    Also "Baked in Brooklyn" is across the street if you want coffee or food to bring along while you walk this beautiful resting place.

    as long as you are in the area Giuseppina's Brick Oven Pizza is on 6th ave and 20th street. The owner of Giuseppina's is Chris Iacono whose brother is Mark who owns Lucali. Now if if you want a classic Brooklyn Style go to Luigi's Pizza on 5th and 20th. The pizza place was also used in the Adam Sandler movie Big Daddy. GreenWood Park (Beer Garden) is also on the same street but on 7th ave.

    I have family members burried there. It's truly a beautiful cemetary. HOWEVER, the groundskeeping is, shall we say, lacking in certain area. When I went to visit my father's grave last year, grass/weeds were thigh-high. Really annoying after evening rain when the everything's wet.

    My daughter's ex-boyfriend is going to be buried here on 3/19/23. He passed away on 3/14/23. We're grieving of course but it's extra hard because it was a suicide. They were talking before his passing and he wanted to see her again.
    They loved to go to beautiful places when they were together and I'm heartbroken. I wish this wouldn't have happened and that instead of not being here, he was alive and they could have visited it together.

    Great topic and video. Yes, Greenwood was definitely Central Park before there was a Central Park.
    One small suggestion: Turn off the drum track when entering a mausoleum or showing a close up of a grave. It’s not just a park or a museum; it is also a graveyard, so a basic modicum of respect is required, just as when one visits a beautiful old church or temple.

    A little more respect for the dead would be nice. You turn a graveyard into a spooky Disneyland. Standing laughing in a mausoleum shows a childish behaviour. This mausoleum was built for a certain purpose and the purpose was guaranteed not to entertain you.
