Why Go
The Episcopal cathedral of New York, nicknamed St. John the Unfinished, mixes Romanesque and Gothic on a scale that rivals Europe's great churches. Look for the great rose window, the poets' corner and the side chapels, then walk the gardens where peacocks roam.
Tips
- Book a Vertical Tour to climb to the roof and look down the nave from above.
