Urban Churches/synagogues

So something I've been noticing a lot in the city lately, are the incredibly neat urban churches/synagogues. Many of them, most notably St. Patrick's cathedral look like they could be out of 18th century Europe, but here they are right in the middle of New York City. They are intricately decorated and are often nestled among huge high rise buildings. It is a very interesting juxtaposition and I'm always pleasantly surprised when I come across one. This is St. Bartholomew's, I ran into it today on Park Avenue.
