General Theological Seminary of the Episcopal Church
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Chelsea

175 9th Avenue
New York, NY 10011

Heath R. writes: What a wonderful hidden secret spot of isolation and insight! The seminary takes up the entire block, and you can only enter on the 9th Avenue side. Just stop at the front desk, drop off a photo ID (like a driver's license), sign in, and they'll let…

109 E 50th St
New York, NY 10022

The Riverside Church
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Morningside Heights

490 Riverside Dr
New York, NY 10027

Pompton Plains, NJ 07444

St Patrick's Old Cathedral Rectory
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Little Italy

263 Mulberry St
New York, NY 10012

Sarah B. writes: Built in 1809, New York's first Roman Catholic cathedral stands as a comforting time warp while all around it in Nolita continues to change to stay hip with the times. The high walls surrounding it were constructed to keep out anti-Catholic…

First Unitarian Church
Neighborhood: Brooklyn/Brooklyn Heights

50 Monroe Pl
Brooklyn, NY 11201

Devin T. writes: Absolutely gorgeous Unitarian Church! Built in the 1840's in the Gothic style, this does not looke like a Unitarian Church inside! Tiffany windows line the sanctuary, which also contains a massive pipe organ on the South side, so sunlight streams…

Old St.Patrick's Cathedral
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Little Italy

233 Mott Street
New York, NY 10012

Kathleen M. writes: I always think it's funny when the patron saint of another country is in the wrong ethnic neighborhood. Since this is Little Italy I would think this church would be St. Anthony of Mafia or Our Lady of Fugitaboutit, but my ethnic stereotyping is…

The Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Morningside Heights

1047 Amsterdam Ave
New York, NY 10025

Neighborhood: Manhattan/Upper West Side

142 W 81st St

St Ignatius Loyola Church
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Upper East Side

980 Park Ave
New York, NY 10028

Aris E. writes: Architecturally it's a gem of Italian Renaissance architecture - full of ornate detail. That the powers-that-be even dared to mention altering the sanctuary 'in the spirit of Vatican II' reveals much of their ignorance. Frankly, it's fine just the…
