The 10 Best Sacred & Religious Sites in New York, United States
New York State has it all – booming metropolises, majestic waterfalls, mountains, wine country, chicken wings. Yes, NYC is a magnet for tourists, but an exploration of the rest of the state can be equally thrilling. The Finger Lakes Wine Region is a vision of serene waters, quaint B&Bs, and pretty vineyards. Movie buffs will love Rochester, home of the George Eastman House and one of the world’s most comprehensive film archives. On your way to Niagara Falls, stop in Buffalo to fuel up on spicy wings.

My wife and I have traveled a great deal and love visiting places of worship throughout the world. This place however has really opened our eyes. The grounds, buildings, people and atmosphere is just incredible and mostly the people are so happy, kind and loving. We loved the bible exhibit the most. Seeing all the old bibles and the use of Jehovah's name for God written in the earliest of traditions along with the persecution many of their people have and are still facing was the biggest eye opener. Note to self... It's a good idea to book online on their website Jw.org as although they cater for thousands of people per day, they can and do book out. We would hope to return one day to experience once again the joy these people have for what they do, the God they worship and the love they have for others. And make sure you go for a walk around the lake, just beautiful. Oh, two more things. They won crazy awards for their environmentally friendly designs and use of the land and theirs some videos on the website about it. And if you have the chance, check out their other two sites, the arts department in patterson and definately the bible printer in (I believe it's warkill)... we've never seen anything like it. These people are a credit to their God.

Highly recommend if you are visiting Lake Placid ... The church was toward the end of a beautiful street in Lake Placid, only a few blocks away from the downtown area ... beautiful old church where one can feel the presence of God.

This small, beautiful chapel is grounded in America's founding history (it was founded in the 18th century and George Washington worshipped here), as well as in more recent history - given it's geographic location near the World Trade Center site, it offered refuge to first responders. There are stuffed animals and other memorials to acknowledge 9/11, in a sobering yet comforting reminder of where we've been and how far we've come. There's also a small cemetery next to the chapel. It's both a memorial and an active church with services, so while you're allowed to walk through the chapel, please remember to be respectful of the community still praying there.

Built in 1665 and declared a National Historic Site in 1943, Saint Paul's Church's original façade and bell are intact, including the old graveyard and magnificent 1830 organ.

The site is small, but it's worth a visit. The outside of the church is beautiful and walking around the cemetery looking at all the old gravestones (some dating back to the 1700's) was very interesting. There's a small museum next to the church where they hold events. On Presidents' Day I attended a talk by a historian formerly from the Truman Presidential Library about Truman's immigration policies and it was really educational. The park ranger said they do a few events a month, so keep an eye out and plan your visit accordingly. The park ranger was very kind and knowledgeable. He took extra time to show me specific gravestones, like the one of Charles Taft, a doctor who was with Lincoln when he was shot. There is parking onsite, restrooms in the museum/visitor center, and it's an easy rideshare from NYC if you don't want to take the subway.
10. The Met Cloisters

Branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art that was constructed out of sections of French medieval monasteries, offers an extensive collection of statues, paintings, stained glass windows and tapestries.

If in the mood for time transportation, check out the glorious Cloisters Museum in northern Manhattan. Yes, a bit of a schlep to get there (take the A or 1 subway) but worth it. Once there, a quietly serene transportation back to the Middle Ages - like walking through an exquisite monastery - the whole 9 yards, what with winding staircases, tiny chapels, gardens, crypts, and galleries loaded with amazing Christian art. And several gorgeous gardens, with breathtaking views of the Hudson River and the Palisades (cliffs) of New Jersey on the opposite side of the river. Never mobbed with tourists (unlike its Mother Museum The Met), the Cloisters can be enjoyed on dual levels. Medieval art in a unique museum that doesn't seem like a museum, or just a quiet place for reflection and/or contemplation, in a placid environment. In manic, maddening, Manhattan.
