Woodlawn

Woodlawn sits at the Bronx's northern edge. The 4 train ends here at the Woodlawn station (opened 1918), a block from the main gate of Woodlawn Cemetery — the station technically sits in neighboring Norwood, a naming quirk locals shrug off. The cemetery is the anchor: opened in 1863 and spread over 400 acres, it holds more than 300,000 graves — Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, Herman Melville, and Celia Cruz among them — and was named a National Historic Landmark in 2011. Katonah Avenue, the neighborhood's main street, runs through the heart of the city's "Little Ireland," still a first stop for newly arrived Irish immigrants.
