What Gives You Peace in NYC?

New York City is a place overbrimming with frenetic energy. Sometimes it’s tough to find an activity that you can do to reconnect with yourself. I have found the most peace in taking bike rides. When I lived in West Harlem, I would take the bike path along the Hudson River, all the way down until I hit One World Trade Center. The morning rides were the best, because at 6 am, hardly anybody was on the path, and I could ride as fast as I wanted. Anyway, in my exhaustion, I was able to feel an inner calmness difficult to find in the day-to-day city living.

What about you? What do you do to find your peace in the city that never sleeps?
