Church of Sweden Reviews
Starting a new Xmas tradition: went to the Church of Sweden (thank you, Ruby R. The real Mayor of NYC) for the first time.Red & white tablecloths on long table (they have a cafe and Christmas store in the basement); the smell of cookies baking; bookcases full of merchandise…the second the elevator doors open, I was slapped by holiday cheer.Hope you make your way there.

Downstairs there is a tiny cage where they have coffee and tea and a bunch of Swedish treats (you do have to pay, I don't want to imply that it is gratis!) We enjoyed some parties and drinks and the quiet location to sit and chat.I'm not sure that it's really open to the non-Swedish public, but I felt very welcome.A quiet little reprieve from the city!
