A new entry in the walk-around-the-landscaped-public-space-with-soundtrack derby. In this one, composer Pete Wyer creates one of his iForests in the New York Botanic Garden (reason enough to go), hiding speakers in the woodland surrounding the Native Plant Garden that play choral music, sometimes defiant but more often contemplative, that varies with the time, landscape, and weather.
MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: See who's serving on Arthur Avenue (Thursdays through Sundays it's a traffic-free piazza).
