“Reading this book–and admiring its gorgeous art!–felt like a walking meditation through the soul of the city. Nicole Kelner offers more than a guide to quiet places; she invites us into a sacred practice: noticing. In a city that asks us to speed up, this book gently reminds us that stillness is not only possible, it’s essential. I felt soothed, seen, and reconnected to the New York that whispers instead of shouts. I turned each page like I would turn a corner in the city: curious, a little wistful, and always rewarded with unexpected beauty. A must for anyone seeking wonder, quiet, or themselves.” — Mari Andrew, author of Am I There Yet?
“A celebration of climate solutions, this book is the sweetest and most beautiful guide to my hometown.” — Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson, author of What If We Get It Right?
