Queen of the Universe Shrine: Mary was Here

The attraction is at 3191 Grand Concourse. This is a very difficult place to stop, let alone park. Having the correct address helps. A little.

Driving to any attraction in New York City is an act of faith. Mass transit helps; the Bedford Park subway station is only three blocks south.
