  • The Church of St. Francis Xavier

    The original church was founded in 1851 by Jesuits from the village of Fordham. Its original sanctuary, designed by William Rodrigue, was the scene of a panic on March 8, 1877 when someone shouted "Fire!" during a Mass and the church suffered terrible damage and was subsequently was torn down in 1878.. Undeterred, the parishioners laid the cornerstone of the new church in May, 1878 on land immediately to the west of the old church. The current church has been in use since 1882.

What to Do

It’s Christmas in New York

  • Eat & Drink

    NYC is one of the food capitals of the world where you can dine on fine cuisine from Eric Ripert’s 3-Star Michelin restaurant La Bernadin to The Halal Guys food cart. Let Erich know if you’d like him to make reservations for you through OpenTable so he can get the points.

  • Shop & Play

    What can’t you do in New York? Take in a show, visit a museum, go shopping (but make sure to save some $$$ for the bride and groom), ice skate at Rockefeller Center. One of Marisa and Erich’s favorite activities to do in the city is going to a jazz club like Mezzrow.

    Get lost. New York is the quintessential city to get lost and see where your adventure takes you. There’s always something around the corner. Make sure to visit Flight Club, Stadium Goods or Dover Street Market and pick up something for the groom.
