The New York Marble Cemetery is a burial ground established in 1830 in what is now the East Village of Manhattan, on the block bound by 2nd Street, 2nd Avenue, 3rd Street, and the Bowery. It is entered through an alleyway with an iron gate at each end, located between 41 and 43 Second Avenue. About 2,100 burials are recorded in the cemetery's written registers, most from prominent professional and merchant families in New York City.
