The Grim is opening the gate and entering historic and hauntingly beautiful Green-Wood Cemetery located in Brooklyn, New York. From its Gothic Revival entrance to its snow-covered grounds, Green-Wood holds centuries of stories, both inspiring and grim.
Learn about the pivotal role the cemetery's grounds played in the Revolutionary War’s Battle of Brooklyn and its transformation into a 478-acre sanctuary of history and remembrance. Discover the lives of notable residents like Horace Greeley, Susan McKinney-Stewart, and Leonard Bernstein, who each left indelible marks on American culture and progress.
Dive into tales of scandal and infamy, including the chilling legacies of Albert Anastasia of Murder, Inc., and Bill the Butcher. Hear about the poignant tragedy of Charlotte Canda and the enduring bravery of Margaret Corbin, the first woman to fight for the United States in battle.
Green-Wood is more than a final resting place; it’s a time capsule of architectural marvels, historic monuments, and even ghostly legends. From the eerie allure of the Brooklyn Theater Fire Monument to the mysterious Tomb of Secrets, the cemetery offers a blend of the macabre and the majestic.
Whether you’re drawn to its storied past, its iconic design, or its paranormal whispers, Green-Wood Cemetery continues to captivate visitors with its tales of life, death, and everything in between.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
