BEST carriage ride in NYC! Avoid the high-pressure, over-priced third-party sales at Central Park by booking in advance with NYC Horse Carriage Rides! In fact, my group of four sisters booked at the park just minutes in advance, and Tommy and Lucky Sam were there like clockwork. It was so easy to book, we relaxed knowing we got a great deal, Tommy was a superb guide with great stories, and we enjoyed a lovely hour-long ride through the beautiful park. This really was a highlight of a 48-hour trip, and one of the few things we would do again!
