Beyond the surface noise and chaos is a quiet New York of tranquil seas and sacred silence--if you know where to find them. Since 1991, NEW YORK'S 50 BEST PLACES TO FIND PEACE AND QUIET has shown weary urbanites the 50 best oases of serenity around the city, each a revitalizing place of calm amidst the daily bustle and grind of urban life. From tranquil gardens and rooftop sanctuaries to serene spas, meditation centers, and cozy fireside nooks, this book offers calm and relaxation for every taste, and each soothing oasis gives New Yorkers a way to leave the city behind without ever leaving the city. The fifth edition is completely up-to-date, with over 10 all-new entries, and also features 15 bonus "honorable mentions." As The New York Times said, "If you're at wit's end and frantic for tranquility, relax...you can buy [this] sweet little book."
