Catacombs by Candlelight "vip experience"

Meet me in Little Italy/NOLITA for a real New York City tour experience unlike any other to explore the off-limits graveyards and catacombs of Basilica of St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral, the city’s first and oldest. Cornerstone laid in 1809, it’s home to the remains of many prominent Catholic New Yorkers. • I’ll greet you with a coffee or beverage of your choice from a local cafe before we visit the McCloskey Room in the Basilica Parish House to view rare artifacts uncovered during the restoration of 2013. • Explore the Chapel Altagracia, a hidden gem rarely open to the public, before heading to the basilica’s graveyards, which were established in 1800 and predate the church. • Descend into the catacombs to view the passages of crypts, vaults and sarcophagi of notable New Yorkers, including the Delmonico restaurant family, Honest John Kelly from Tammany Hall and Brigadier General Thomas T. Ecker to name a few. You'll leave after an urban exploration that even the most diehard New Yorkers haven’t had, as well as a 10 percent discount voucher to spend in the gift shop.

The History and Craft of Natural Incense

Take a deep breath and relax as you discover the therapeutic craft of incense making. • You’ll discover the origins of incense and its use in ancient timekeeping and ceremonial practices while savoring traditional Korean tea and snacks. • Learn how incense once served as a precursor to perfume and its diverse applications in rituals and medicine. • Immerse yourself in the art of natural incense making by mixing your own batch with organic woods, herbs, resins + oils. You’ll leave feeling refreshed and inspired, with your very own personalized scent packaged in a beautifully crafted pine wood box.
