Green-Wood Cemetery

The Death Cafe is a simple yet powerful idea: bring people together to openly discuss one of life’s greatest truths—death. These informal gatherings are designed to "increase awareness of death to help people make the most of their lives."

Explore Green-Wood under the night sky, where the Cemetery transforms after dark. Discover the stories of remarkable New Yorkers who shaped history and culture and end the evening with rare access to the Catacombs, an underground space few ever see.

Celebrate National Moth Week with an after-hours exploration of Green-Wood’s nocturnal insects. Using special ultraviolet lights, we’ll attract and observe moths, often called the “jewels of the night,” which far outnumber their day-flying cousins, the butterflies.
