Up On the Roof--not a very high roof, but in Midtown it transports you to a sea of tranquility

On Third Avenue and --oh, where is this, 39th, 40th Street? There is a small mall and a quiet upstairs little retreat with plantings that is an escape enough on a busy summer day...on a quiet sunny day it makes you feel, well, not like you are in the country, but transported a totally different calm and meditative realm...This is the kind of place some people like to just sit around it for some time if they are in the right mood....and very safe, from what I can tell.
A great anecdote to the overwhelming congested feeling of the area on a weekday, that's for sure.
