Lonely Planet review

Still a working Episcopal church, St Mark's was built in 1799 on farm land owned by Dutch Governor Peter Stuyvesant - he's buried in the crypt below. Sunday services are a big draw, but St Mark's is also revered for its cultural contributions. Regular poetry readings (Poetry Project; 212-674-0910) and dance events (Danspace; 212-674-8194) culminate every New Year's Day in a 24-hour nonstop orgy of poetry, song and performance.
