Central park, alphabet city community gardens, stuyvesant square park

ok these are all Manhattan but In Central Park there are quiet areas if you avoid Bethesda terrace strawberry field or whatever the Beatles one is called and sheeps meadow - the conservatory garden is especially nice and p empty The community gardens in alphabet city are small but soooo nice my favorites are the one on the south west corner Ave c and e 9th (there’s like a pond with turtles and shit!!) and one across on north east corner of Ave c and e 9th. Firemen’s memorial garden on e 8th (there’s a koi pond!!) LASTLY Stuyvesant square park (it’s not actually in stuy town) they have beautiful flowers and landscaping and it’s usually very empty and there’s big big fountains

Wave hill

One of my favorite places that‘s somehow still within the city limits. Beautiful any time of year, even when things aren’t in bloom, given the views of the Palisades across the Hudson. You can linger as long as you want so I love to bring a picnic lunch and a book and camp out all day when I go up. The tiny greenhouses, I daresay, have far better variety than either of the city botanical gardens (currently a ton of orchids on) and for the low price of $10. Just an excellent place that no one seems to know about.

North woods of central park

You can absolutely feel like you’re getting lost in the North Woods of Central Park. There are little hiking paths and streams, boulders, and fewer people than the touristy southern parts of the park. A nice bonus is when you come out on the northeastern side you can peer over Harlem Meer and likely see some ducks! Hon. mention to Riverside Park (seconding the person who said that), Inwood Hill Park, and Fort Tryon Park (and the Cloisters!)

I don't think that's the point

I feel like this place isn't about people but about recommendations, right? forget the influencer, forget the individual, just browse and talk about cool shit and whoever says something good, that's good. that's what I liked about reddit, back when I actually liked reddit. I haven't found many people I want to follow, and I'm not really looking.

don't settle

for a while, when I wanted something expensive, I would think to myself, "oh, let me just look for a cheaper version of it." I end up settling for something that isn't good in any of the ways that made me want the expensive version. Throw that out. You can get fantastic pieces for cheap, you can thrift a wardrobe you love, but if you're trying to find a cheap copy of something expensive, it's not going to work.
