    Trinity Church stands on a hilltop at the junction of Broadway and Wall Street. Today its spire is dwarfed by skyscrapers, but in the early 1800s, the church’s 200-foot spire dominated the landscape.

    Trinity Church dates all the way back to 1697 when King William III granted a charter to the church. The charter serves as the incorporation document for the church and states that the church must pay “one peppercorn” a year to the crown

    Three churches have stood on the spot. This structure is actually the third Trinity Church to exist. The first church burned down in the Great New York City Fire of 1776, the second was demolished in 1839 after snowfall caused structural problems, and this current structure was consecrated in 1846.

    Some interesting facts which I find during my visit & research:

    1) Trinity Church was once the tallest building in New York City. when it was completed in 1846, Trinity Church held the title of tallest building in the United States for 23 years, until it was surpassed in 1869. However, it remained the tallest building in New York City all the way up until 1890,

    2) When Trinity was granted its charter from King William III in 1697, the rent set by the English crown was “one peppercorne” per year. On July 9th, 1976, when Queen Elizabeth II visited the church, she was presented with 279 peppercorns as “back rent.”

    No need to be French to love Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris.
    Take a fascinating, exciting and fun trip through the centuries to experience her history and restoration. You will be amazed at the graphics. The images draw you in with a well written, beautifully curated text. You can learn as much as you want. I can’t wait to go back

    This was a really unusual tour but very enjoyable. It was freezing and because much of the tour was outside in the graveyard we were lucky we were well wrapped up. Our tour guide Jimmy Boyle was brilliant- so full of energy and knowledge.. not just about the cathedral but about N York in general
    I would recommend arriving early to catch the video about the cathedral as there’s a lot of info you get on there that’s not included in the tour. We spent all the time in the graveyard and the catacombs but we would have liked the tour to include more of the inside of the cathedral itself, but overall a really interesting, educational and fun experience

    I often passed this stone church on my visits but never managed to step inside. On my last trip, I did, and was glad to have done so.

    I'd lived in Britain for some years, so this beautiful church transported me back in an instant. Everything is crafted in the finest detail, from the exquisite stained glass to the impressive pipe organ.

    A few minutes' respite from the busy city streets just outside, beautifully done.

    The memorial at ground zero has left a lasting impression on me and only increased my sense of solidarity, even though I'm not an American or have any sort of deeper story or connection to the events, other than the common sadness and shock everyone felt around the world. I liked the quietness, the messaging and the symbolism of the memorial and felt the execution of it very dignified and tasteful.

    It was a quick visit. People and the entrance were kind and let me in with my baby. It's a simple and small temple but it shows a deep love for their culture.

    Beautiful church with a great history. I had read there was a *museum* in the church of Martin Luther King, Jr. so we asked about it. One staff member acted if though I was taking up his time and said, " I don't know what your are talking about." Well, I was talking English and he was talking English and I mentioned Martin Luther King, Jr and photos and letters, so finally without saying anything he directed us to follow him to a small room where all kinds of photos, letters and newspapers were. One should NOT miss out of seeing this! It was very moving. Later my son made friendly small talk with a young woman at the desk, and she completely ignored him. It was odd...there were only about 8-10 visitors in the whole church so it was not tourist fatigue. So the 4 is for the church with a -1 for the staff

    St. Bart’s church is a fantastic building on the corner of 50th and Park Avenue. Covid restrictions are still in force. Well worth a visit.

    First sunday of the month is Holy communion. Get there by 10 30 to get a seat, as it gets busy. We were blessed to come to this special place through a wonderful connection of a couple who actually were Scots but now live in China through his work with the british government. The wife was a dear friend to our son. The young husband came to this church over ten years ago through his friendship with a young seminarian who was part of this parish. The children loved the service as well. The leader or Bishop of this Parish is the Bishop James Garylord who preaches the word of God with knowledge and grace. You will feel welcome just entering the parish hall. The Choir is outstanding, the band does a great job. This parish is a very active part of the Harlem community and currently this quarter theme is " What the word of God can do for you". I loved the fact that the bulletin allows you to enter sermon notes and also to mark scripture to review when you get home and reflect on the actual service that transpired that Sunday.Helpful notes to enter of what to read in your bible daily as well.
    The church family sponsors their annual outreach crusade from August 8th through 12th. Every day there is Noon day prayer Sunday school on starts at 9 15 am. Parking is great in the area as well.

    The central synagogue is a really impressive building on Lexington and located close to Central Park. The domes are great.

    Really nice and peaceful little church that is moments from the chaos of Times Square. It has some repairs going on outside.

    I always go to this mosque for jummah and taraweh prayers. I recently moved to Michigan but whenever I go to NYC I definitely go visit this mosque. The women section is very nice and spacious. Truly amazing!

    I poked my head in here on a Sunday evening and they were in the middle of Mass 'for young people'. Is my worst nightmare but actually the choir was very subtle and the whole atmosphere was very welcoming and it felt as if everyone there was friends.

    Beautiful church with the first American Saint entombed underneath the alter. Nice display explains the story of how she was Canonized. Nice gift shop, mostly Catholic related items. Not a place for everyone especially if you have small children.
