St. Patrick's Cathedral, NYC

St. Patrick's Cathedral is the largest decorated Neo-Gothic-style Catholic cathedral in North America. It is the seat of the archbishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York, and a parish church, located at 50th Street and Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, just across the street from Rockefeller Center. In the 1980s, John Cardinal O'Connor undertook renovation work of his own, most notably the construction of a new stone altar in the middle of the sanctuary closer and more visible to the congregation. This was built from sections of one of the side altars that was removed to reposition the baptismal font in the north transept. Scenes from the Adam Sandler comedy films Little Nicky and Mr. Deeds were shot in the Cathedral, as was part of the climatic scene of Daredevil. St. Patrick's also appeared in the video game, Freedom Fighters, as a background in one of the levels. As the background however, it was shown to be partially on fire. In the 2002 film Spider-Man starring Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst, after having rescued Mary Jane Watson from peril, Spider-Man places her on a rooftop garden across from St. Patrick's Cathedral before swinging off. Charter a coach bus to bring the whole family to this landmark.
