Grace Cathedral

As the third largest Episcopal Cathedral in America, Grace Cathedral is worth a visit at any time of the year. Located in the ritzy Nob Hill neighborhood, it's within walking distance of some of the city's fanciest (and priciest) cafes and restaurants. Grace Cathedral really outdoes itself during the holidays, however. With its dramatic Gothic arches and pitch perfect acoustics, holiday concerts will send chills up and down your spine. Grace Cathedral's resident Choir of Men and Boys carry on a centuries-old Anglican tradition, and recitalists play the Cathedral's beuatiful Æolian-Skinner organ. Guests have included the US Naval Academy Men's Glee Club, Chanticleer, and the Vienna Boys Choir, along with jazz legends Pharoah Sanders and Joshua Redman.
