On fourth street in Manhattan, just west of Avenue D, there is a small church: La Iglesia de San Isidoro y San Leandro.
It is a Western Orthodox Church, using the Hispanic Mozarabic rite. I, personally, had never previously heard of Western Orthodox, much less Spanish Orthodox, Christians. Like many others ignorant on the subject, my initial assumptions were: aren't all Orthodox Christians Eastern? Aren't all Spanish churches Roman Catholic?
This tiny Church employs a liturgy which predates the sad schism between the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches, which was employed in Spain centuries ago, when the Church was still one.
This is some brief footage of the interior of the Church, including shots of some of the icons, as well as some brief clips of the Priest who maintains the Church.

To whom it may concern WE ARE ORTHODOX WE ARE NOT SCHISMATICS. JESUS CHRIST IS THE HEAD OF OUR CHURCH. WE have weatherd the ottoman empire the threats and raids from the west but we are still here we are strong we want a United Church, We stand for Peace,Byzantium is alive and well through out the world for those who think they have Vanished us.
Well thank you, Cherazz, I have not heard an orthodox call anyone a schismatic, but I have heard them be angry that the 4th crusade was carried out by their western sisiters, Murderd a whole city looted a Cathedral for a 1000 years of Gold and Icons, the it fell to the Ottomans after help was requested by the Patriarch and no answer from the west, Christ and the Theotokos have shed tears since that day.
