Searching for serenity, tranquility and calm in the world’s busiest city may sound almost next to impossible. For users on the look out for places where they can experience a peace of mind, the TranquiliCity app emerges to be an ideal choice. The app which is customized for the iPhone is equipped with a GPS guidance system directing users to relaxing locations throughout New York City.
The app is developed by Allan Ishac, the bestselling author of New York’s 50 Best Places to Find Peace and Quiet. It guides users to carefully selected tranquil parks, peaceful day spas, calm meditation spots, revitalizing yoga studios, luxuriant waterfront retreats, clandestine sanctuaries and much more. The app packs in over 100 serene and rejuvenating entries in Manhattan and five boroughs coupled with distances, directions, descriptions and photographs.
“New Yorkers know that for every hour of the city’s non-stop action, we need a few minutes of restorative solitude and calm,” remarks Ishac. “With TranquiliCity, even locals will find serene escapes they never knew existed.”
The TranquiliCity app includes original and exclusive content and claims to be the ‘first and only app to focus on the quiet side of the world’s busiest city’. The app sorts locations into 12 categories consisting of public spaces, parks, spiritual centers, museums, gardens, quiet restaurants, and more. It narrows down the search for users by enabling them to search through category, name or distance from the location. The app includes a ‘Favorites’ feature, which enables users to bookmark their most preferred retreats for revisits or trip planning to New York.
The Hot links present in the app allow users to call and book day spas and peaceful restaurants. It also provides walking, driving or public bus directions from users’ present to the retreat they’d like to visit, just with a tap on the in-app map. TranquiliCity app would be ideal for users who are extremely stressed out, tensed or harrowed with the constant clamor of the city and are on the look out for a soothing solution. The application is well-suited for native New Yorkers, business travelers or trip planners.
The TranquiliCity app can be now downloaded from the iTunes store for just $.99.
