POSTPONED: Join Us for Our Garden Party Thursday, June 20 at 6 pm at New York Marble Cemetery
THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL WEDNESDAY, JULY 17 DUE TO THE ANTICIPATED EXTREME HEAT AND POOR AIR QUALITY
The Village Preservation Brokers Partnership is hosting a summer garden party in one of the East Village’s hidden treasures: the New York Marble Cemetery. Treat your senses to the beauty, colors, and scents of the garden’s tranquil natural setting. Resplendent with glorious blooms throughout the spring and summer seasons, this venue provides the perfect setting to enjoy the wine, cheese, and live music which will be offered.
It’s a beautiful and remarkably peaceful way to spend a summer evening in this secret landmarked, historic gem of a space, located in the interior of the block bounded by Second Avenue and the Bowery, East 2nd and 3rd Streets. Established in 1830, it’s the oldest nondenominational cemetery in New York City. One of the city’s earliest designated landmarks, it’s also on the National Register of Historic Places. Prominent New York families such as the Beeckmans, Hones, Hoyts, Quackenbushes, Varicks, and Van Zandts have vaults in the cemetery. Enter through the gate at 41½ Second Avenue and enter a world you never knew existed! Tickets are $25 per person.
