On the Grid : Green-Wood Cemetery
"This HUGE landscaped green space—478 acres!—offers something very rare to find in NYC: peace and quiet. You won’t see many other people as you stroll the trails that wind through historic tombstones and soak in spectacular views of rolling hills lined with trees of every color. The koi pond and Civil War monuments are favorite stops. This National Historic Landmark is an underrated beauty of Brooklyn." - Jason Powers
