I haven't been near it since I retired in 99. The tomb was cleaned up at that time, however, I can't say if the surrounds have gotten better since then. As for scoreing, you'd be better at 116 and Amsterdam or the Popeye's on 125, but you had better be armed.

lol! I was joking... I'm just amazed that a major monument - a president's tomb, would be allowed to be degraded like that. I don't know where Gen. Lee is buried but I bet it's not a crackhouse..

I was there last year. The tomb looks great, truly inspirational. It is just off Riverside drive, and the immediate surroundings are nice. There's a park, and Riverside Church. Of course, if you wander too far, you'll end up in Harlem.

It's a bit of a trek, but worth the effort. I took the subway from downtown, which took about 20 minutes. Then, I took a bus back, which took forever, but was good sightseeing.
