## 🕯️ STEP BENEATH THE CITY… AND BACK IN TIME

Above ground, Manhattan bustles with traffic, conversation, and the rhythm of everyday life. Below the Basilica of St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral lies a quieter world—one of historic burial vaults, candlelit passageways, and stories that reach deep into New York’s past.
Join our Social Club for Catacombs by Candlelight, an atmospheric guided journey into a side of the city that many New Yorkers have never experienced.
As we explore, the names and places of another era begin to take on new meaning. We’ll hear about the people connected to this historic cathedral, the community that grew around it, and the lives commemorated beneath its floors.
Come for the mystery. Leave with a deeper connection to the city and its history.
