The final resting place of our 18th president and the commander of the Union forces in the Civil War, 122nd Street and Riverside Drive. When Groucho Marx had a quiz show on TV in the 50s, if a contestant was about to leave without winning any money, to prevent them from going away empty-handed, he'd always ask them, "Who's buried in Grant's Tomb?"
Hate to admit it, but I saw that episode of "You bet your life", broadcast "LIVE", and the people were so dumb that they couldn't answer the question. 1952 or '53.
