You have to check out the indoor garden at the Ford Foundation Center—it’s one of NYC’s best-kept secrets. The moment you step in, you’re surrounded by this lush, tropical greenery under a massive glass ceiling. It’s peaceful, quiet, and feels like you’ve been transported out of the city. Now imagine it in summer… The light is pouring in, the plants are thriving, and the whole space feels alive. It’s warm, vibrant, and the perfect spot to escape the heat without losing that summer vibe. Seriously, if you’re looking for a calm, beautiful hideaway in the city, this is it.
