New York City

The Rubin Museum

of Art, New York City

The Rubin Museum of Art is a pocket

of serenity in New York City’s lively

neighborhood of Chelsea. Unlike other

art spaces in the city, this six-floor

museum is not just home to some

of the most prestigious Himalayan

art exhibitions, it’s a hub for world-

renowned scholars and yogic thinkers

who teach seminars and workshops

(many of which are free) that tie

contemporary fields like neuroscience

and technology to the ancient practice

of yoga and meditation. The gift shop

alone is a gem, stocked with colorful

vintage silk sari shawls, sculptures, and

even presents for young yogis, like

the whimsical Ganesha’s Sweet Tooth

storybook.

Post-museum, make your way to

Divya’s Kitchen on the Lower East Side.

This restaurant, located on the floor

of the Bhakti Center, takes a global

approach to Ayurvedic cuisine by

transforming comforting staples, like

lasagna and risotto, into ingenious fare.
