Catacombs by Candlelight

New York, NY

A candlelit ninety-minute tour through the only catacombs in Manhattan, beneath the two-hundred-year-old Basilica of St. Patrick's Old Cathedral.

Carrying a candle, visitors descend into the only catacombs in Manhattan beneath the two-hundred-year-old Old St. Patrick's Cathedral. The ninety-minute tour winds through underground crypts, off-limits passageways, and a walled cemetery where powerful early New Yorkers rest. Reverent and atmospheric rather than gory, its eerie history surges in popularity each Halloween season.
