NEW YORK is dotted with places to travel in. Take the subway to Lisbon, a bus to Seville. Walk across a street jammed with lurching cabs and nervous pedestrians and tumble into a meditation garden from Japan. The weekend sidewalk traveler can nearly name his oasis and find that country's cultural center, one of many throughout the city that aim to create a sense of place and time through exhibitions or through sheer ambience.

…

Just a few blocks away, a comfortable afternoon may be spent reading newspapers - in English and Scandinavian languages - beneath an aerial view of Stockholm in the cosy sitting room of the American Scandinavian Foundation. And, starting tomorrow, there is an exhibition of works by the Finnish sculptor Birgitta Ara and the Swedish painter Siri Berg. (American Scandinavian Foundation, 127 East 73d Street. Open Wednesday through Saturday, 11 to 5. Admission is free. Information: 879-9779.)
