St. Patrick's Cathedral

Why locals love it

This 135-year-old, Neo-Gothic style cathedral has become a prominent landmark in New York City. It takes up one entire city block, and accommodates 2,200 people. It's a magnificent structure to admire, inside and out, and, despite the busy streets surrounding it, the cathedral provides a peaceful sanctuary.
