    Trinity Church Cemetery is one of New York State's most important burying grounds. Established in…read more1842, it's a 24-acre memorial park, steeped in Revolutionary War, Civil War, civic- and social history. Its Easterly Division was originally laid out by James Renwick Jr, - before he went on to create such important works as NYC's Grace Church and St. Patrick's Cathedral, and DC's Smithsonian Institute - then the entire cemetery was improved a generation later by Calvert Vaux, co-creator of Central Park. Notable burials here include merchant prince John Jacob Astor, doyenne of Gilded Age fashionable society Caroline Webster Schermerhorn Astor, adventuress Madame Eliza Jumel, writer Clement Clarke Moore and naturalist John James Audubon. Three 19th-century Mayors of New York City here include the controversial Fernando Wood, the colorful A. Oakey Hall, the anti-slavery activist Cadwallader D. Colden, and 20th-century Mayor Edward I. Koch who was buried here on February 4, 2013. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Trinity Church Cemetery in Washington Heights is Manhattan's only still-admitting burial ground (and not to be confused with its older, smaller downtown sister, Trinity Churchyard at Wall Street). Yet despite its recognized significance, long history and continued use, this cemetery remains one of New York City's best-kept secrets. Whether you're a history buff, a genealogical sleuth, an architecture enthusiast or just a nature lover, you'll discover how this so-called "city of the dead" can bring the world at large to life more vividly than many a guidebook.

    Excellent. 1) Great…read moreplace to come and relax. 2) The cemetery is open from 9am to 4pm everyday. But the gates close at 3pm. 3) The most famous burial in this cemetery is the merchant prince John Jacob Astor. 4) This is must visit if you are in the area.

    My whole month of May was stolen from me, not by the continuous cloud producing showers that stayed…read morein the forecast...but by the civic obligation to serve Grand Jury Duty. Grand Jury Duty is different from Trail Jury Duty and it seems to be virtually no way to escape it if you're called, unless you have a felony conviction on your record. No judgement here just giving you a heads up. So be prepared to forfeit 4 weeks of your regular routine for a new one 4 days a week. If I'm honest I was kick'n & screaming like many of us do, when we are called to serve but it wasn't exactly that bad. I mean it can be boring as heck with all the down time. It is like watching paint dry or plucking every hair on your body one by one. Alright, that may be a little extreme but be prepared nonetheless. I used the opportunity to catch up on some much needed reading to help stimulate some brain cells. For the 4 wks you are required to report @ 9am and stay to the close of business which doesn't necessarily mean 5pm. It is until you are dismissed which means it could be before 5 or some times after. You are required to go thru security every time you enter the building and as a Juror you are allowed to enter with food and beverages. If you are serving as a Grand Juror you have access to a refrigerator and microwave. Security moves pretty quickly with the exception of Mondays & Wednesdays when the line can be out the door so arrive early. Everyone including the Court Officers are generally polite and actually nice. When it finally comes to an end you realize it is not actually that bad and you provided some input in our Judicial system. Just A Note: They provide $7 parking vouchers to park at the shopping center across the street which reduces the cost from $25 to $18. My suggestion is 4 days a week for 4 weeks, $18 adds up so only drive if necessary.

    Went to jury duty about a month ago. It was not that bad, haha. They did not call me at all…read more I thought I was headed for days and days here. It was just the two days and then you are sent back. I had a nice time eating at some of the local spots in my 2 days here. I had not had some Dominican food in such a long time. It hit the spot and for only $5.00 it kept me smiling. In the city , this same meal would've cost me like $8.50. Overall, this is a nice new building. AC was working very well and kept everyone cool. It did feel like slow death only you finish the newspaper and other random things. You are just standing here staring at the these strangers faces.
