Going to NYC next week and wondering if it would be better to do the ride first, then meal or vice versa? Better day or night? Are reservations a must for the ride? Also, since I will probably be in wheelchair (broke foot last week), would I be able to put folded chair somewhere in/on carriage? Does carriage ride go by the TOTG?
Carrige ride/Tavern on the Green
I%26#39;m not too sure they can handle the wheelchair. For their typical park ride, the hansom cabs stay on a very short loop along the south end of the Park Drive. You can hire them to go anywhere, though, so they can certainly go to ToTG. Don%26#39;t know what the cost of that would be. Personally, I wouldn%26#39;t risk further injury by climbing in and out of a carriage. You can also get to ToTG by taxi or bus, or take a ';rolling'; tour through the park. Hopefully we won%26#39;t have snow while you%26#39;re here.
Carrige ride/Tavern on the Green
When we were in NYC at Thanksgiving the horse and carriges stopped outside TOTG, if you have a reservation there you may be able to ask the door man to look after the wheelchair while you have your jaunt
I think lunch at The Tavern on the Green is the best bet and daylight the best time for a ride through the park. You do not need reservations for a carriage ride, but you may need them for the restaurant. The carriage can drop you very close to or at the restaurant and those drivers do all they can to ensure you have a wonderful ride. Just explain your needs, chair and all. The Tavern on the Green is an easy jaunt (on foot or in chair) to the west edge of the park where cabs flow constantly. If it%26#39;s incovenient to go that route, have the desk at the Tavern call you a cab. Have fun!
