An amazing restoration project underway to remove 130 years of grime & pollutants, and structurally restore the stone construction . Beautiful work so far. And then, there are the services…spiritual.

An outstanding architectural marvel! A must see if you come to New York! One of the most peaceful places in the city ! The lighting is like being in heaven!

Lit up with candles that bring out the glass painting on its stained glass window and a grand stone alter , the place is absolutely beautiful with its Gothic style decorations and exquisite artwork.

Entering here gave me the chills on how holy one can feel. If you can get the souvenir coins for $4, go for them. There's St. Michael, Mother Mary, St. Patrick, Mother Teresa, & Pope John Paul II.

I've visited this place for decades now. It's almost always under construction and doesn't compare to European churches , but is an awesome sight in downtown New York.

A great place to visit during the holidays. Beautiful nativity scene and other Christmas decorations . No charge to walk through and an easy walk through.

A really beautiful space! While there is a gift shop inside, keep in mind there’s a bigger and less crowded one across 51st.

Really loved both the interior and exterior of this Gothic style Catholic church . Despite being a tourist drawer it has managed to keep solemnity in place during mass times.

Great location, close to many major tourist attractions . The best cathedral in the city , very big, very great, very awesome! A-must-see spot.

beautiful! always come to pray and light a candle when i’m in the area

Look at the statue of a toddler Jesus holding the world in his hand (around back of the alter ) & compare it with the statue of Atlas holding the world on his back outside, directly across the street.

The most spectacular and sacred feeling is walking down the aisle! This church 's beauty is one of NYC's finest highlights.

If you're walking by, come take a peek. Such a blessing to be able to sit in this gorgeous church . Take a seat and talk to God as long as you want.

Take a trip to this staid midtown chapel, where F. Scott Fitzgerald married his wife, Zelda. Unlike the over-the-top parties portrayed in The Great Gatsby, theirs was a small affair with only 8 guests Read more

My gam and grandpa met here in 1941. National Catholic Community Center hosted events for the Catholic youth to meet. Gam was playing checkers. Grandpa saw her and said "I'm gonna marry that girl."

Kneelers got an upgrade, so cushy yet firm. Don't be afraid to get your meditation on, your knees can handle it.

Ambient atmosphere, beautiful architecture , and a must-see landmark . I will treasure my memories of this place fondly!

Beautiful architecture , I never imagine found the Virgen de Guadalupe there... I enjoy the cathedral !

This cathedral is beautiful. We caught a Christmas choir when we were there and it was very peaceful . I could sit there for a while.

We only got to see the outside of this place but that in itself was quite an amazing site to see.

If you visit the cathedral the night before the City Sings concert , you get to sit in on the dress rehearsal open to the public. Plenty of seats.

The best altar here is the one dedicated to Mother Seton, the 1st American saint. She did it all - wife, mother, educator , founder of sisters of charity and a major NY socialite before her conversion

A beautiful landmark in the heart of Manhattan. Don't miss it, especially around Christmas time .

Roman Catholic Church designed in the Gothic Revival style. Used to be 51 niches along the exterior that each contained a statue . Only 2 of these statues remain along 5th Ave. More history here <LINK> Read more

As a predecessor to uptown’s St. Patrick’s Cathedral , the church on Mulberry still holds significance in the Italian community, and is now a parish church .

One of the most peaceful and serene places in NYC and a great place to take a break from shopping. The gothic architecture is, for a better word, heavenly.

Historic church - well worth stopping by when visiting Rockefeller Center

Still singing Latin songs here at mass. Beautiful cathedral with a large number of tourist visitors (like us) this Sunday.

Saint Patrick's Cathedral is the largest Gothic Cathedral in the United States . It took over 20 years to build and it can hold up to 2,200 people. Truly a sight to be seen!

As a former finish carpenter the architecture is majestic. There is a strong sense of the divine a good place to visit.

Beautiful church . Note that the 4pm mass on Sundays is actually in Spanish.

Wow! Charging $2 for a candle u buy in a bag with 50 at a dollar store. I thought Jesus forbade commerce in the house of God. Shame on u!

have not to envy the great French cathedrals . Very impressed by the beautiful colonnades

Beautiful !! Always have wanted to visit while in New York

Work began in 1858 but was halted during the Civil War and resumed in 1865. It was completed in 1878 and dedicated on May 25, 1879. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1976.

Every time you go to a new church say a prayer. It is good luck. St. Patrick's is one of the most beautiful Cathedrals in Manhattan.

If you haven't seen it since the cleaning of the exterior, check it out.

Lots of tourists visit this place. Camera flashes going on all around. Please be quiet and respectful, several folks do come here to pray.

No cost to enter and walk around the interior of this beautiful cathedral .

Spent hours here, words cannot describe it's beauty and history! A definite if you've never been here

Dont forget to go behind the altar for a more solemn area to pray

Beautiful church in Manhattan; close to Rockefeller Centre

Wow! If you are of Christian faith this is a wonderful, wonderful place to visit.

If you are an architecture fan like me... #DoIt!! #Classic #gothic #architecture in the middle of #NYC

Bring dollar bills so you have singles to leave for the $2 candle donation. Light a candle or say a prayer at your favorite saint. Go behind the altar to get to the chapel in back-so pretty!
