In New York City, horses are a symbol of a bygone era before the advent of cars, buses and trains. It was during this time that New Yorkers got around from place to place on horseback or by means of horse-drawn carriage. As a result and over time, horses became iconic to the history of Manhattan.
Horse-drawn carriages are a wonderful way to experience the beauty of Central Park. They can be found lined up year-round at the following pickup zones:
• Grand Army Plaza: center lane at the entrance on Fifth Avenue and East 60th Street
• Sixth Avenue: within the park entrance north of Central Park South
• Seventh Avenue Entrance: the east curb, about 20 feet from Central Park South
