Our #1 favorite place in New York. Judith once lived above a funeral home a block from here! The first garden cemetery in the US, you'll find gorgeous trees and plants, historic headstones, and wild parakeets. Boss Tweed, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Leonard Bernstein are buried here to just name a few. Enter through the Main 25th Street Entrance to get the full parakeet effect.
Have a stroll on The Promenade, then mosey down to Brooklyn Bridge Park. Fornino's Pizza is at the south end of Brooklyn Bridge Park where you can sit on their rooftop and watch the sunset. On the northern end is the Manhattan Bridge and DUMBO's cobblestone streets. In the park there's also summer outdoor movies, free kayaking during certain times, and a roller rink.
