"Cathedral of Saint John the Divine, Upper West Side by Ken Pao. When friends and family come visit from out of town, St. John the Divine is usually a favorite place I take them. Seemingly a little out of place, this Gothic heavyweight towers over all the neighboring buildings bordering Columbia and residential high rises. One might expect to find a building like this in Europe, but we are lucky enough to have it right here in the UWS. What's really cool is they always have interesting art installations inside that meld with the church's architecture. It's always a humbling and inspiring experience when I visit."
