Kulture City maps safe spaces for neurodivergent New Yorkers

WNYC News | Aug 1, 2025

Navigating New York City is hard. It is loud —sometimes smelly — and always super busy. And for people who are neurodivergent it can sometimes be overwhelming.

An organization called Kulture City is putting together a map of safe zones people can go to get away from the chaos.

Kulture City Executive Director Uma Srivastava joined WNYC's Sean Carlson to talk about the new map.
