Georgia, Jack and I went to Mass at St Joseph's on 87th Street in Yorkville, for many years a German speaking parish during the years when the neighborhood was a haven for Geman immigrants. Five years ago, now Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI ("B-16") visited this church during his visit to NYC. Nowadays, only one German language Mass is said each month and, wouldn't you know it, we hit it. An interesting experience. The homily and announcements were in English, though. Afterwards we went to great little place for brunch on Madison and 92nd that Lauren found out about. Tiny space, delicious food and really cool waiters.
![The Marble Collegiate ChurchThe Marble Collegiate Church, founded in 1628, is one of the oldest continuous Protestant congregations in North America. The congregation, which is part of the Reformed Church in America, is now located at 272 Fifth Avenue at the corner of West 29th Street in the NoMad neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. It was built in 1851-54 and was designed by Samuel A. Warner in Romanesque Revival style with Gothic trim. The facade is covered in Tuckahoe marble,[2] for which the church, originally called the Fifth Avenue Church, was renamed in 1906.[3] The building was designated a New York City landmark in 1967,[2] and in 1980 was added to the National Register of Historic Places](https://stored-cf.slickpic.com/Mzc5OTJhOTA2ZDFmMw,,/20130308/MzY4MzQwMWQxMDk,/pm/600/007.jpg){kind=link}
