What is TranquiliCity?
TranquiliCity offers users a much-needed counterbalance to the world’s stress capital by putting instant peace in your pocket. It features New York’s best staycations, the calmest city sanctuaries, the most rejuvenating parks and tension-beating public places. It’s the smartest way to give city stress a rest.

Who created TranquiliCity?
TranquiliCity was developed by Allan Ishac, author of New York’s 50 Best Places to Find Peace and Quiet (a regional bestseller since 1993, currently in its 6th Edition with Rizzoli Publishers). Allan is also the creator of the related website findpeaceandquiet.com. He has spent more than fifteen years searching for unique urban sanctuaries and is an authority on creating tranquil city lifestyles.

How does it work?
GPS-enabled, TranquiliCity will use your current location and identify the nearest refuge. Or you can sort locations by category, name, and distance.

How much does it cost?
TranquiliCity is only $.99. That means you can preserve your sanity in NYC for under a dollar.

Is it just for New York City locals or for city visitors, too?
It’s for native New Yorkers, commuters, business travelers, savvy tourists, and anyone else who craves tranquility and refuge. If you are frequently in search of an affordable massage, a quiet meal, a healing sanctuary, a soothing facial, a serene meditation spot, or a gentle walk in a neighborhood park, TranquiliCity will point the way, every minute, every day.

Are there quiet location entries in every borough?
Yes, in all 5 boroughs, but with a focus in Manhattan because that’s where you’ll need it most. Wherever there’s a high concentration of noise, crowds, traffic and distractions from serenity, TranquiliCity will come to the rescue.
