If you are like me, you are craving an escape to some sort of nature right now. Head to the Ford Foundation’s 1960s tropical forested atrium, on 42nd St. west of 1st Ave. The It’s a nice retreat, a place to take a deep breath, and to pretend for a brief moment you are in Panama.
The atrium is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
