"[A]n antidote to the feeling, as Joni Mitchell once expressed it,
that New York has taken all the trees and put them in a tree
museum. It lists the obvious places to bask in the green…but also
the more obscure…and divides them by neighborhood, revealing that
the city is spotted with these small respites. And what better way
to spend a summer afternoon, when everyone else has decamped to
some beachside, than to rediscover the city itself?"
*The New Yorker*
