Green-Wood cemetery & Museum at Eldridge Street Synagogue

I took a long subway ride to visit this National Historic Landmark Green-Wood cemetery in Brooklyn, New York. Visiting graveyards have been a part of my traveling curriculum, domestic or international, since they reflect cultural values. The weather was sunny and cool, and the cemetery had staffs doing all kinds of landscaping and maintenance. I ran behind my schedule so stopped a old couple for a ride to get back to the main entrance. — at Green-Wood Cemetery.

Staten Island ferry rides have been my New York visit ritual for many years. I planned to visit Staten Island Museum and walk around this time, yet turned around due to shortage of time. Yet the time saved was well spent at the wonderful South Street Seaport District, a great destination for walking, entertainment and cultural experiences. — at Staten Island Ferry.

I found this gem hidden in the Chinatown: Museum at Eldridge Street Synagogue. The restored historic Eldridge Street Synagogue, a 19th-century landmark with stunning architecture that initially opened for Eastern European Jewish immigrants, recently restored. The one-hr tour was very informative and ended my visit at a great note. — at Museum At Eldridge Street and Eldridge Synagogue.
