Check out one of New York's hidden treasures, smack in the middle of the East Village. Opened in 1830, the Cemetery is one of the city's best kept secrets – and you're invited to explore it on select days this summer.
The New York Marble Cemetery (sometimes called the Second Avenue Cemetery) is the oldest public, non-sectarian burial ground in New York City. Designated a New York City Landmark and included on the National Register of Historic Places, the Cemetery is comprised of subterranean marble vaults built at a time when fears of a yellow fever epidemic had outlawed in-earth burials. Instead of headstones, marble plaques were set into the Cemetery’s walls, leaving a oasis of tranquil green space in the bustling East Village.
