Most Beautiful Churches in New York

Forget the skyscrapers for a minute. New York is home to some of the most amazing churches in the world: Gothic cathedrals on Fifth Avenue, colonial chapels in Lower Manhattan, parish churches built by each new wave of immigrants, and even the tallest church in the United States. This guide covers the ones worth the trip, each visited and photographed in person. Let's start with the most famous, St. Patrick's Cathedral.
