Are you thinking of visiting New York, or do you already live here but are just looking for something special to do which is a bit quirky?
Here is a visit that is certainly not an ordinary New York hot spot. How about a visit to Trinity Church on Wall Street? The first church built on this location was constructed in the late 17th century. The building that is standing there now is the third church on that spot, and it was built in 1846. But the interior has stayed true to its origins and has maintained a good portion of that classic English church look. There is vaulting galore, dark wood pews, low lighting, and of course wonderful stained glass windows. The doors are made of bronze and make a great, gorgeous impression. There is a lovely inverted-tree sculpture right outside, with an adjoining cemetery with some quite ancient graves, truly worth a look at.
Perhaps most kitschy of all is the sign outside the Trinity Church proclaiming that, “On this spot stood Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on the occasion of her gracious visit 9 July 1976. His Royal Highness the Prince Philip stood nearby.”
