I have wandered about Green-Wood Cemetery on several occasions, but this was the first time I took the trolley tour. Marge Raymond was the guide and is a wealth of information about the cemetery and those - both famous and not - buried there. She's also a cabaret singer and entertained us with a couple of songs at appropriate moments...

I have lived in Brooklyn for 6 years - 6!!!! and I just visited Green-Wood for the first time in the fall of 2010. I have been back 3 times since then and have taken every visitor visiting me there too. It's a sanctuary in the middle of NYC - beautiful, clean, quiet, peaceful, etc, etc. JUST GO!!!

Our evening there turned out to be a highlight of our honeymon! The staff and volunteers were brilliant and the light-hearted but fascinating history we...

I have taken a couple of trolley tours (every Wednesday and the last Sunday of each month). These are very informative and enjoyable. The trees and plantings are beautiful, as well as some great views of the harbor. The stories are very interesting and, at times, amusing. In August I went on the Battle of Brooklyn trolley tour. If it...
