Our ex-expat group took a private temperature-controlled trolley with a guide to explore Greenwood’s historical landscape. We toured some of its 478 glacial-formed acres. The cemetery houses one of the largest outdoor collections of nineteenth—and twentieth-century statuary and mausoleums.

It’s not to be missed.

After our tour, we headed down the hill toward our subway back to Manhattan, stopping at Molkajete Restaurant Bar for some nourishment and chatter.

Happy hour at this Peruvian/ Mexican restaurant runs from 11 am to 6 pm, so we indulged. Sangria and margaritas were only $8. With our drinks, we nibbled their housemade guacamole ($14) and chips.

Some items we ate included their burrito bowl ($10) with grilled chorizo (+$4); the quinoa, tomato, cucumber and pepper salad ($14); and fish and other tacos ($12 -15 for 3). Service was attentive!

If you decide to visit the cemetery, Moklajete is an easy walk from the main gate.
