What major U.S. cities have the most beautiful churches/cathedrals?

I know, but I'm at work right now and therefore don't have time to dig around for better pictures. Those three were on the first page of my Google image search. Perhaps you could help pretty up the thread by posting some pics.

Done.

I couldn't find uncopyrighted photos of a few more gems:

I think every major city has some really grand, beautiful churches. One of my favorites in my hometown of Winston-Salem:

Grace Cathedral and St. Peter and Paul in SF are both amazingly beautiful. Grace is a replica of Notre Dame up on Nob Hill. How could you get much more breathtaking than that?

Every old city on the East Coast and Midwest have amazingly beautiful churches and synagogues. However, only one city has a cathedral that boasts the world's largest collection of mosaic art, and that city is ST. LOUIS!
