Tom, I'm usually a huge fan of your videos, but you missed the biggest reason why this cemetery is famous: The Godfather. This is where Vito Corleone's funeral takes place, and where Sal brokers a meeting between the Corleones, Barzini, and Tatalgia. The exterior shots of the funeral take place on the Greenpoint Avenue entrance of the cemetery.
Your comments when the ambulance went by......😂 Thanks Tom.
😂😂😂😂
😂
I love the background sounds in this vid!
loving how niche and small you are keeping the channel man! stay true and authentic, so rare in the modern world :)
i've got a crush on this guy
Yes. He is pretty handsome. :) 😊
See if you can get permission from the Dept. Parks to visit Hart Island. Over 1,000,000 people buried on about 100 acres (jurisdiction was transferred to Parks from the Dept. of Corrections in 2019). It's NYC's Potters Field - mass graves in trenches dug by bulldozer, then filled in and on to the next trench. Not just for the indigent, but people who's families couldn't or wouldn't pay for a burial. It's accessible only by ferry (it's next to City Island between the Bronx & Queens). Most NYer's don't know such a place even exists.
Tony Bennet's biggest hit was I Left My Heart In San Francisco. Also buried there is composer/conductor Leonard Bernstein who wrote West Side Story and other great musical works.
Yeah, technically "Fly Me To The Moon" was more of a Frank Sinatra song than a Tony Bennett song (the original title was "In Other Words.")
And the first person to record it wasn't Frank or Tony...it was Kay Ballard. 😊
"Fly Me to the Moon" was Frank Sinatra/Count Basie. The song you were thinking of for Tony Bennett (Benedetto) is "I Left My Heart in San Francisco".
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss.
There's an excellent history book cleverly called "Permanent New Yorkers" Tom probably already has it
I did many monuments in that place, back in the day. My dad's parents are there.
I almost lost it when you made that comment during the ambulance's arrival.😂
thanks Tom...
Wow…And i always thought the name was Cypress Hills Cemetery.
I think Cypress Hills Cemetary is south of this one.
The burner phone is the breakout star of the vid.
Also “Let’s filler’ up” 😅
Hey Tom! If you ever have the opportunity to I think you would really enjoy doing a Pittsburgh tour! I know it’s not exactly the biggest tourist hub but it has so much history and character, and I feel like a lot of stories and narratives that would be right up your alley. Also you’ll find the best pierogis here too!!
Heinz and Westinghouse. All those steel bridges, not one,or two,but three rivers!
Know for our cemeteries!
😂😊😅😮❤ Thanks so much guys!
Filler up comment hilarious LOL
Do Green-wood please.
I believe he’s already did a video on that one some time ago
@@EphemeralProductions He was outside Greenwood, but not inside like in this video. Greenwood is awesome, I like going there around Halloween.
Thanks Tom for sharing have a blessed night handsome the guys nsme is frank sinatra lol
Its huge
that staples used to be a hospital
I'm from Europe, but have been in NYC a couple of times. Once in NYC we took the train (subway) to Coney Island. I saw from the (then above ground) train an enormous cemetery. Can someone confirm that this was this cemetary?
No, that's Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn.
Greenwood isn't visible from any elevated train line. You probably saw Washington Cemetery from the "F" train line at Bay Parkway and McDonald Avenue. It was incorporated in 1850 as a non sectarian burial ground but because consecrated as a Jewish burial ground in 1857 and is known as a Jewish cemetery today.
@@ejbernal2 Thanks!
@@Bklyn112 Great to know, thanks!
this video is dead good!
is 2007 calling on that flip phone?
"Dig your own grave and save!"
Got relatives in there.
my grandfather is buried there
Say hi to my family!
Real ones know this is a re upload
More life in a woodland cemetery than there is in a city....
Queens Blvd! The Boulevard of death .. though I heard it’s getting a huge makeover
big toneh in this video
I remember coming out of Naked City on Queens Blvd across the street from the cemetery and seeing Jesus on the Crucifix and just tried to not look at it.
8 minutes why bother
What happened to the live streams?
CAN SOMEONE TIMESTAMP WHEN TOM POINTS OUT THAT SOME OF THESE DEAD PEOPLE WERE RACISTS?
I was too distracted by the mention of a cemetery naming itself after a murder scene instead of, you know, the Calvary miracles.
