Close to the tourist district of Times Square, curious travelers will find The Swedish Church of New York (Svenska Kyrkan) hidden amongst Manhattan's skyscrapers. Located at 5 East 48th Street, the Swedish Church is only a few minutes away from the hustle and bustle of Rockerfeller Center. Enter through the heavy doors and the honking horns turn to peace and tranquility. Visitors are welcomed by evergreen decorations, a Swedish library, and aromas of coffee wafting from the basement cafe. Besides coffee and other soft drinks, the Swedish Church Cafe stocks baked goods and a variety of Swedish candy, chocolates, and snacks. There's also a section for Swedish gifts like sponges, cutting boards, and table clothes. The Swedish Church Cafe is well worth a visit when in Manhattan!
