While walking home from a concert at Seaport, Cory and I passed an apartment complex that always interested me. Its a normal apartment but instead of a backyard, its a cemetery from the 1600's. After reading the signs, its the first Jewish Cemetery in the United States. Which, to find next to a busy street, in between Chinatown and Financial District, is pretty crazy.
Its called the New Bowery Cemetery, on West 11th street. There's more info here http://www.sephardicstudies.org but its so strange to walk buy and see!
