One of the most picturesque, and romantic, ways to visit Central Park is

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 glimpse back to gaslight New York and it's easy to imagine Diamond Jim Brady sharing an after dinner ride with Lillian Russell.

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 20 minutes and
$10 for each additional 1/4 hour.
