Perhaps one of the most well-known cathedrals in Manhattan, St. Patrick’s Cathedral has stunning gothic architecture, especially when contrasted with the rest of the modern midtown architecture that surrounds it. Many United States Presidents as well as many dignitaries have attended mass at St. Patricks.

Tips:

Because St. Patrick’s is such a tourist spot, and because so many people walk through it a day, masses are usually only a half hour. You don’t even need to attend mass to tour the inside; you can walk around the church and look at all the religious sculptures while enjoying perhaps the only bit of peace and quiet on 5th Ave.
