About
A trolley rolls through Green-Wood to the graves of mob boss Albert Anastasia and a mentalist allegedly killed by his own autopsy.
Green-Wood holds some of New York's most lurid stories, and this trolley tour goes straight for them: mob boss Albert Anastasia, mentalist Washington Irving Bishop and the Hall-Mills murders. Riding means you cover far more of the 478-acre grounds than you could walk in a morning. If you love a true-crime podcast, this is that, on wheels, in a Victorian cemetery.
What to expect
