Museums and churches. Both are good for the spirit though museums tend to be more sensual that strict church fathers would like. And of course, some are just a short distance from crazy, but crazy in such a beautiful way.
But both can have some exciting architecture. We went to mass at St. Patrick’s and did communion with the artists at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Guggenheim. There are so many world class museums in New York, that we will have to come back for another week to finish the highlights. Throw in something like the old Shubert Theater and there is as much curvilinear or rococo decorations as a person could want. I don’t usually take pictures in Museums because, well taking poorly lit pictures of beautiful pictures seems at best, redundant. The Guggenheim will not you take pictures above the ground floor which is sad because it has some really interesting architecture. The Met lets you take pictures anywhere. And you would have to be insensitive to take pictures during mass at St. Patrick's, but apparently some people are. I kept seeing flashes go off.
