New York's 50 Best Places to Find Peace and

Welcome to the quiet side of New York. Listen to the whisper of a waterfall. Inhale the sweet fragrance of 2,000 prizewinning rosebushes. Meditate in a monastery or during a massage. Commune in a cloister. Rest on a rooftop. Marvel at the leafy loveliness of a tropical rainforest. Or, float weightlessly in your own private sea. Discover soothing oases of serenity, right in the heart of New York City.
