We wandered a bit from the Cornell Club (6 E 44th in Manhattan) and wound up having lunch a fairly short distance away.
Back a number of years ago – the edifice was an Episcopal Church – St Bart’s. George said it was 60s-70s when the church converted a significant portion of its property into affordable housing and relocated the church operations. Now, since you can’t exactly move a huge sanctuary – a repurpose was in order. Instead of food for the soul – to food.
To a restaurant? Ok, this is New York. The end result is that you can eat outside and watch the traffic on ?Park? Ave or inside and stare upward. We sat outside in the moderately fresh air and had a nice lunch. I am still appalled at the prices.
