Sightseers await to turn in an intersection during a Central Park carriage ride in New York
Sightseers await to turn in an intersection during a Central Park carriage ride in New York October 16, 2013. The Central Park horse and buggy ride, for decades an iconic New York experience along with a Broadway show or a visit to the Empire State Building, is facing extinction. Three weeks before the city's November 5 mayoral election, the top candidates both support ending the practice and say they are open to alternatives, like replacing the horses with 8-seat electric cars.
