Queen of the world's residence

Across much of Manhattan’s Upper West Side, places of worship anchor blocks with quiet presence. Queen of the World’s residence sits at 345 W 86th St, a stone’s throw from smaller chapels and synagogues that mark the neighborhood’s religious geography. Anchoring the block, the building isn’t marked by grand signage but by the stream of people entering and leaving at predictable times each day. Like others in the category, it offers services beyond ritual gatherings—private blessings, seasonal observances, and community gatherings are scheduled regularly, though exact times aren’t listed publicly.

To join a service or attend an event, call 212-580-1210 before you head over; staff will confirm timing and any entry protocols. Directions are easiest via the maps listing, which drops you directly in front of the entrance on W 86th.
