The Riverside Church
Uptown and underseen. Modeled on Chartres, this 1930 church has a nave that catches the late-afternoon sun through deep stained glass, and a 392-foot tower you can ascend for the best Upper Manhattan view. Go for the light in the nave around 4pm.
A soaring 1930 Gothic Revival nave modeled on Chartres — and a tower you can climb.
