Letter From The Publisher
Welcome to Natural Awakenings NYC! Some of you may know us from other editions across the country. We’re a monthly healthy-living, healthy-planet magazine that’s published for almost 15 years, currently in over 60 U.S. markets and Puerto Rico, with 2.5 million monthly readers. Now with this March issue, we’re excited to be launching here in New York City.
And could there be a better time to launch a magazine about living a healthier and greener life? After what seemed to be an endless winter, spring is almost here. Even as winter chills us with its final cold gasps, we all know spring is coming. It’s in the air. We’re all sustained by the promise of that change. But this long winter of our economic discontent has taught us that change doesn’t happen overnight. It comes in small glimpses, increments that eventually become undeniable…the beginning of daffodils shoot through the winter-weary planters on Park Avenue. Forsythia bushes ready for their annual showcase in Central Park. The hot chestnut carts have all but disap-peared. And finally, less puffy coats means more elbow room on the subways.
As we hover between winter and spring, now with the occasional warm after-noon and longer days…the promise of change is enough to get us by in these last dreary days of winter.
Here’s a preview of our first Natural Awakenings NYC!
The March cover story features the city’s largest and greenest new resident. You’ve probably seen him in the movies, and this year he’s the star of one of Broad-way’s biggest hits of the season, “Shrek The Musical.” Read about how Shrek’s arrival in NYC has coincided with the “greening” of Broadway, and learn how actress, Sutton Foster (Shrek’s Princess Fiona), has incorporated healthy, green living into her life.
This month we bring you recipes from Food Network Chef and Author, Giada De Laurentis on page 10, to make your spring holidays bloom for family and friends. Check out a craft project you can do with your kids, that uses those lonely gloves and mittens that have lost their mates on page 8.
Meet “Green Girl” on page 17 and follow her fictional adventures, as she struggles to live single and green in the city.
“Serenity Now,” on page 7, features our reader’s favorite places to find serenity in the midst of a sometimes chaotic New York City.
“Natural Heroes” profiles a New Yorker who is making this city and the world a healthier and greener place on page 26.
“Fido’s Fitness,” on page 12, features a great way to keep your pet running when you can’t.
“Emotional Fitness” explores the connection between mind and body fitness, on page 16 of the magazine.
The “Calendar of Events” documents a wide range of activities throughout the city that honor our dedication to mind, body and spirit.
