What To Expect

5 th Avenue

Marvel at the lights around 5th Avenue.

St. Patrick's Cathedral

The story of New York’s great cathedral mirrors the story of the city itself. Created to affirm the ascendance of religious freedom and tolerance, St. Patrick’s Cathedral was built in the democratic spirit, paid for not only by the contributions of thousands of poor immigrants but also by the largesse of 103 prominent citizens who pledged $1,000 each. St. Patrick’s Cathedral proves the maxim that no generation builds a cathedral. It is rather, a kind of ongoing conversation linking generations past, present and future.

Gar Pond

Lake set against the city skyline, with winter ice-skating & trees renowned for bright fall colors.

We had a beautiful ride with Ahmet and BlackStar and saw NYC's amazing Christmas lights including the tree at Rockefeller Center and light show at Saks. However, you should know that you can walk up on a week night and get a ride for about $150 cheaper than we did by booking ahead.

We had high expectations but it didn’t deliver for us. You can get a ride around Central Park for $65 for 20 mins for a group then an additional $25 per ten mins. So for a 40 minute ride on the street would cost you $115 (a third of this trip). There are no lights in Central Park so I’m not sure how you can advertise that this magical carriage can drive you through them. You go down 5th avenue amongst all the traffic, seeing all the lights you will see most nights of your trip then down some back streets.

Do not take this trip. We spent $375 to take a carriage ride around 10 blocks in New York City. All we saw were Rockefeller Plaza the Christmas tree and a lot of cars and taxis in the street. The trip was supposed to be a light show around New York City after 30 minutes. Ill driver said it’s probably better if we drop you off at your hotel instead of going to Central Park because it’s getting late. Our driver did not point out anything of value to us other than the tree at Rockefeller CThe trip was supposed to be a light show around New York City after 30 minutes. I’ll driver said it’s probably better if we drop you off at your hotel instead of going to Central Park because it’s getting late. Our driver did not point out anything of value to us other than the tree at Rockefeller Center Which we had already seen. Do not take this trip.
