Built during the Gilded Age and Progressive Era, The Cathedral of St. John the Divine in upper Manhattan is a product of its time — and one that is still unfinished over 125 years later. But how did the world's largest cathedral end up in New York City? It's time to uncover the history and architecture of the world’s largest cathedral from ground floor to roof.
Join 
New York Adventure Club
 for an exclusive, after-hours vertical tour of The Cathedral of St. John the Divine, the mother church of the Episcopal Diocese of New York and the Seat of its Bishop.
Held after St. John closes to the public, our behind-the-scenes experience at the largest cathedral in the world will include:
A discussion around the 
history and story behind the cathedral
, and why it's built in two different architectural styles
An 
exclusive look at the 
fa
mous Guastavino tile spiral staircase
A 
trip all the way up one of the cathedral's spiral staircases
 with stops along the way including the triforium, a buttress, and ceiling above the nave — a total of 124 feet
A closer look at stained glass windows, sculptures, and 
grand architecture only seen from high above the ground floor
Our experience will 
conclude on the roof for
 
sweeping views of the NYC skyline
!
See you there!
*Please bring water and wear a comfortable pair of shoes as we’ll be doing a lot of walking and stair climbing for the duration of the tour — 10 stories in total!
**Please note that the spiral stairwells are quite narrow, and can be uncomfortable for those with claustrophobia — if you choose to not ascend the cathedral stairs, you may wait on the ground floor for the group to return

中央公園

遊賞秋景好去處

蓝星旅行者

漫步於紐約中央公園，彷彿跌入鋼鐵森林的溫柔裂隙。晨光穿透林梢，在櫻花大道鋪開粉白碎錦，風過時花瓣簌簌落肩，摩天樓的稜角在花影裡柔化成朦朧背景音&nbsp;。

長椅上的城市密碼最是動人。指尖撫過冰涼的椅背，銘牌上簡短的文字藏著紐約客的體溫：&quot;給我的妻子卡羅爾，因為她愛中央公園，而我愛她&quot;&mdash;&mdash;生離死別、年少相逢、母與子的羈絆，都在木紋裡凝結成露&nbsp;。當高中生攤開書本笑鬧在綿羊草坪上，當莎士比亞詩篇的朗誦聲從櫻桃山飄向湖面，這座公園便成了情感的共鳴箱，盛滿超越語言的人間敘事&nbsp;。

午後在The Ramble森林區閉目，鳥鳴與溪水聲織成天然白噪音，忽然懂得奧姆斯特德的深意：這340萬平方米的綠肺，原是獻給&quot;疲憊產業工人的手工藝品&quot;，讓無力遠行的人們在此啜飲自然&nbsp;。黃昏的船屋碼頭最是魔幻，木槳劃碎晚霞染紅的湖面，野鴨從曼哈頓倒影中游過，都市的喧囂在此沉入水底，只餘槳聲燈影裡的呼吸&nbsp;。

「當長椅鐫刻的私語與櫻花雨一同落進掌心，方知這混凝土荒原裡的綠洲，原是紐約寫給世界的散文詩。」&nbsp;
