SUNDAY SLOWDOWN | Finding solace in the city
“To be slow means that you govern the rhythms of your life. You are in control of deciding how fast you have to go.”
- Carlo Petrini, founder of the Slow Food movement
When one thinks of New York City, slowing down is not the first thing that comes to mind. It has well worn reputation of having a frenetic and fast pace, of having to be always on the move. It's a bustling city. One in which I imagine many people are hustling- places to go, money to make, people to meet. And yet, I always find small pockets of stillness, both made and found.
Walking in the west village on tree laden streets. A quiet early morning in a hotel cafe, before the brunch crowd descends in droves.
