Horse-drawn Carriage in Central Park
John B. Moore

Horse-Drawn Carriages in the Park.

riding inside one of the many colorful horse-drawn carriages that que up every day just across from the Plaza Hotel on Central Park South and 5th Ave. Popular all year round - either enjoying a soft summer breeze or all bundled up beneath the snug seat blankets to keep out the winter chill - the carriages provide a peak back to gaslight New York and it's easy to imagine Diamond Jim Brady sharing an after dinner ride with Lily Langtree.

Each carriage is brightly colored and usually feature fresh flowers along with a charming and knowledgeble driver providing an insightful commentary along the way.

Carriages can be found all year round lined up along Central Park South between 5th and 6th Avenues.

Estimated Cost (not including tip):
$34 for the first 1/2 hour and
$10 for each additional 1/4 hour.
Call Central Park Carriages at 212-736-0680 for more information.
