The Cathedral of St. John the Divine is the world's largest Gothic Cathedral, combining soaring architecture with intimate spaces that inspire awe and reflection. Standing tall over Amsterdam Avenue and still under construction for more than 100 years, St. John's offers us a trove of sketching possibilities.
As an added bonus, Paul Winter will be rehearsing for his winter show from around 2pm on.
Admission is $15 for adults, $12 for seniors and $10 for students. Once you check in at the desk and receive your sticker you can come and go as you please throughout the day. You do not need timed tickets.
