Hi friends, welcome back! I’m working on my NYC Spring Bucket List, and the first thing I’m crossing off is the 48th Annual 2023 Macy’s Flower Show.

This church is named after the patron saint of Ireland and the seat of the Archdiocese of New York. This gothic cathedral is massive and takes up an entire block between Madison…
