President Grant was the last President of my big trip. Like when I went to see President Roosevelt, I had to pay another 6.00 toll. When you are driving down River Side Dr, you cant miss the top of his tomb. When I went to Grant's Tomb there are one way streets on both sides of his tomb. So I was trying to get on to the other side of the street so I could park and go inside, I did a u-turn on a one way street midday in uptown Manhattan. When I did this u-turn there was a car coming at me. Luckily he was able to stop in time and told me to go down a little further. If you need to use the restroom, there are none in the tomb. There is church across the street you can use. When I went to the church to use the restroom and it looked like you could tour the church. They had a visitor centers.
President Grant is buried on the banks of the Hudson River. Like some of the other President I saw on my big Presidential Grave Tour, you have to park in the street. But his is different. On certain days and times you cant park in certain places. Make sure you read the signs. I was there on a Monday at about noon and traffic wasn't bad and there was plenty of street parking. Email me if you want to know what happened to me on the one way street by Grants Tomb.
