Beautiful cathedral with stained glass windows and carvings. Built in 1879, the majestic gothic architecture will just leave you in awe. St. Patrick's Cathedral is a really wondrous tourist attraction

Irving GonzalesJuly 5, 2013An 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.

Social News NetworkAugust 14, 2013Lit 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.
Matt FerrariAugust 1, 2016I'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.
AndrewGroveSanAntonio GroveJanuary 1, 2019A great place to visit during the holidays. Beautiful nativity scene and other Christmas decorations. No charge to walk through and an easy walk through.
MuratJuly 17, 2017Great location, close to many major tourist attractions. The best cathedral in the city, very big, very great, very awesome! A-must-see spot.
Kevin DudleyOctober 18, 2019A really beautiful space! While there is a gift shop inside, keep in mind there’s a bigger and less crowded one across 51st.
Che FranciscoMarch 1, 2016Really 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.
J CrowleyApril 29, 2012My 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."
Heinie Brian HartendorpJuly 27, 2018Entering 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.
Jamie IacobucciApril 8, 2018The most spectacular and sacred feeling is walking down the aisle! This church's beauty is one of NYC's finest highlights.
Kneelers got an upgrade, so cushy yet firm. Don't be afraid to get your meditation on, your knees can handle it.
Brittany GalskeDecember 22, 2019beautiful! always come to pray and light a candle when i’m in the area
montserrat hernandezDecember 4, 2014Beautiful architecture, I never imagine found the Virgen de Guadalupe there... I enjoy the cathedral!
CompassMay 20, 2014As 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.
Rockefeller Center's visual and spiritual counterpoint. Oldest Catholic Church in NYC; largest Neo-Gothic-style Catholic cathedral in North America.
Christina LouiseAugust 3, 2020Beautiful church. Note that the 4pm mass on Sundays is actually in Spanish.
D'Agostino SupermarketsJanuary 31, 2012Saint 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!
Hi There!January 13, 2014Look 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.
PoojaOctober 17, 2014Lots of tourists visit this place. Camera flashes going on all around. Please be quiet and respectful, several folks do come here to pray.
Brennen CollierMarch 31, 2015Ambient atmosphere, beautiful architecture, and a must-see landmark. I will treasure my memories of this place fondly!
The Corcoran GroupAugust 19, 2011One 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.
Allen DiazMarch 15, 2015As a former finish carpenter the architecture is majestic. There is a strong sense of the divine a good place to visit.
Joe HankoAugust 16, 2011Attend a 5:30 mass here on Saturday- But grab those seats early, it fills up fast! If you're in the first row, they'll probably ask you to help with collections ;)
Polina WeitzDecember 4, 2018A beautiful landmark in the heart of Manhattan. Don't miss it, especially around Christmas time.
Time Out New YorkMay 14, 2013Take 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
James RobertsonDecember 24, 2018We only got to see the outside of this place but that in itself was quite an amazing site to see.
Mike SeilbackDecember 19, 2014Historic church - well worth stopping by when visiting Rockefeller Center
Ailie ChangAugust 22, 2015If 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.
Really nice Cathedral, medals from the vending machines are great, open until late.
IWalked Audio ToursMay 8, 2012Roman 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
Nathan RiceAugust 26, 2016Wow! If you are of Christian faith this is a wonderful, wonderful place to visit.
Dont forget to go behind the altar for a more solemn area to pray
- chrissy spazianoMarch 11, 2014Every 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.
Olivier DellacherieMay 16, 2018have not to envy the great French cathedrals. Very impressed by the beautiful colonnades
If you haven't seen it since the cleaning of the exterior, check it out.
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.
John CarterAugust 11, 2016Beautiful architecture. The premise was to draw parishioners eyes heavenward. I think it worked.
El RafaJuly 8, 2016If you are an architecture fan like me... #DoIt!! #Classic #gothic #architecture in the middle of #NYC

Stacy HoehleDecember 4, 2010Bring 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!
