NEW YORK, NY - SEPTEMBER 08: St. Patrick's Cathedral, the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York, is viewed on September 8, 2015 in New York City. Just in time for the arrival of Pope Francis later this month to hold mass at the church, a three-year restoration project at St. Patrick's is largely completed. The project at one of America's most popular churches cleaned the exterior of the church, repaired panels and stained glass windows and restored the large bronze doors at the Fifth Avenue entrance. St. Patrick's held its first Mass in 1879. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)

NEW YORK, NY - MAY 18: A homeless man panhandles along Eighth Avenue in Manhattan on May 18, 2015 in New York City. As many parts of once seedy New York City have been transformed into family and shopping friendly environments, 8th Avenue near the Port Authority bus station is one of the last hold-outs to old gritty Manhattan. Last week a man was shot by police after he attacked numerous people with a hammer along a stretch of the street. There is a high police presence along the street and fights and arrests for vagrancy are common. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)
