The New York City Marble Cemetery is a historic cemetery founded in 1831, and located at 52-74 East 2nd Street between First and Second Avenues in the East Village neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. The cemetery has 258 underground burial vaults constructed of Tuckahoe marble on the site.[2]
The New York City Marble Cemetery, which was the city's second non-sectarian burial place,[3] should not be confused with the nearby New York Marble Cemetery one block west, which was the first, having been established one year earlier. Both cemeteries were designated New York City landmarks in 1969,[4] and in 1980 both were added to the National Register of Historic Places.

On a quiet side street in the East Village lies the New York City Marble Cemetery, the second nonsectarian cemetery built in Manhattan. Created in 1832 by several enterprising businessmen as a profit-making venture, the cemetery provides a social hub and respite for its neighbors that surpass its original intent. Residents and curious passers-by alike are drawn to the green oasis on East Second Street between First and Second Avenues, sequestered behind an imposing wrought-iron fence and surrounded by a three-sided 12-foot (3.7 m)-high stone wall overhung with ivy.
