Cycling
There's a well defined bike lane on Cypress Hills Street that goes along Machpelah Cemetery, but most of the bike lanes leading up to it (when there are bike lanes) are pretty treacherous. There's an entrance a short distance past the main cemetery entrance that takes you directly to Houdini's grave. His monument really stands out. It's beautiful. I recommend watch a couple of bios on Houdini before visiting. He was amazing, interesting and one-of-a-kind.

Hiking
Grave of magician Harry Houdini and his family at the Machpelah Cemetery in Queens NY. Don’t use the main entrance. There is a separate gate directly across from the grave. Visitors often decorate his grave with cards, keys, locks, coins and handcuffs.
