“Two historic Brooklyn institutions have topped “Two historic Brooklyn institutions have topped the list of New York City’s most “underrated” landmarks by Viator, a TripAdvisor company.

Green-Wood Cemetery (Greenwood Heights/South Slope) and Plymouth Church (Brooklyn Heights) came in at numbers one and two after Viator’s experts analyzed reviews on TripAdvisor and compared them to the number of hashtags they received on Instagram — resulting in a list of the most amazing NYC sights that fly under the radar on social media.”

“A historic collection of four adjacent townhous “A historic collection of four adjacent townhouses, with its own private park, has quietly gone on sale for $25 million in Brooklyn Heights.

Called Valentine’s Way, the brownstones at 60, 62, 64 and 66 Clark St., between Henry and Hicks streets, are subject to a conservation easement established by the dedicated preservationists who have spent four decades meticulously restoring them. The conservation easement assures that the buildings’ exteriors, front gardens and ironwork, which have been judged to be of cultural, architectural and historical significance, will be maintained in perpetuity.”
