ALL the Marble cemeteries are open to the public today in the East Village



Today (right now!) the New York Marble Cemetery — the oldest public non-sectarian cemetery in New York City — is open to the public at 41 1/2 Second Ave. between East Second Street and East Third Street…



Meanwhile! Around the corner on East Second Street between Second Avenue and First Avenue… it's Day 2 of the Fall Open Weekend at the New York City Marble Cemetery… you have until 5 p.m. (to visit) …

… and here's a scene from there yesterday via Derek Berg …

    This is Open House Weekend, according to Time Out New York.
    If you do a search, you'll find many venues that can be visited free today, including two in the EV. One is at 21 Ave. C, the other is at 239 E. 3rd St. See the pictures at their site.

    The roof garden at 21 Ave. C looks cool.

    YES! I've never gotten into the one on 2nd Ave., always wanted to. Thanks, Grieve!

    Did any notice if these cemeteries became dog runs as in previous open to the public days?
