Menasha Ridge Press :: Travel :: Peaceful Places: New York City

Peaceful Places: New York City

The word "tranquil" does not easily come to mind when thinking of Manhattan and its surrounding boroughs. But thanks to this author, a lifelong New Yorker, myriad escapes from metro-madness lie around the corner--literally, in some cases. Drawing on personal anecdotes, she generously shares her favorite locales for urban stress-relief. Clamor and sensory overload make for exciting urban life, but sometimes it’s just too much.

The first in a new series, each one set in a U.S. metropolis, 100 Peaceful Places: New York City leads the reader on an unexpected path. Author Evelyn Kanter shares the inspiring, restorative pockets she has come to love over a lifetime of exploring and living in New York City. While her native Manhattan serves up many calming spots, this unique guide reveals the surprising gardens, vistas, sanctuaries, café respites, neighborhood strolls, and beaches that make up all of New York City. Readers will discover new destinations, and they will glean tips on when to visit grand locales, such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, for a bit of quiet time.
