St. John the Divine

On a neighborhood walk the other day, I stumbled in to the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, by some measures the largest cathedral in the world, and perpetually unfinished. I have walked by in many times, but I haven't been inside in many years.  The interior space is truly impressive.  And entering into a gothic style cathedral from the streets of NY's upper west side is a totally incongruous experience.

Paris or New York?

Another church in the neighborhood.  Where am I?
