Seeing New York, Slowly
Hello, and welcome.
My name is JK, and I’m the creator of Slow Travel NYC.
New York is a city that moves at a rapid pace. Its energy is electrifying, but it can also be overwhelming.
When I first arrived, I tried to see as much as I could, racing from one landmark to another. But over time, I began to ask myself:
Am I experiencing the city, or just passing through it?
That’s when I discovered the philosophy of slow travel—a mindset that values depth over speed, presence over checklist.
It’s not just about visiting fewer places, but about connecting more deeply with each moment, each street, each story.
Slow Travel NYC is a personal blog to record my journey.
Rather than highlight only famous attractions, I try to capture the quiet corners, the overlooked details, and the rhythm of local life. This blog is about experiencing the city not as a tourist, but as a thoughtful wanderer.
I hope this blog serves as a gentle guide for anyone wishing to slow down and experience New York on a deeper, more personal level.
Thank you for walking alongside me.
Warmly,
JK
