La Sinagoga de la Calle Eldridge es conservada como un sitio histórico por el Proyecto de la Calle Eldridge.

Completed in 1815, the landmark building houses a beautiful marble altar surrounded by ornate hand-carved reredos.

Still active, Old Saint Patrick's celebrates masses in English, Spanish and Chinese.

The magnanimous Clement Clark Moore, the man who gave the moniker of Chelsea to the neighborhood, established this church in 1831. The original chapel features a Greek-revival design, however a few years later, a larger church was constructed right next to the smaller chapel (which is now the rectory) in the Gothic Revival style. The Episcopalian denomination also attends events at the the massive General Theological Seminary right down the street and the church hosts the Atlantic Theater Company in an adjacent building.
