I'd also  like to see St Clement's and St Mark's churches, but that's
just me...and  Philadelphia Cathedral as well. And the New Church
cathedral in Bryn  Athyn. 
 
Personal thoughts.
 
 

St.  Clement's has nice windows, and a
spectacular sanctuary, but not much else except for it's Tridentine  in
English Liturgy.  Saint Mark's is a wonderful, darkish gothic  revival,
with that gorgeous silver chapel altarpiece.
 
I spent much of a day a few years ago photographing the Swedenborgian
Cathedral.  It's a grand collegiate gothic with excellent  windows.  The
sanctuary is rather odd by Anglican standards with the four  canlesticks,
and open Bible.  There's no altar.  They have a new pipe  organ.
