Horse Drawn Buggies and Christmas Lights... A New York Thanksgiving

When you cross the 59th Street Bridge from Queens County into Manhattan, sometimes you get to see the tram arriving and departing for Roosevelt Island. My kids like to ride it for the view. Spanking-A eye candy, too! :-)

We like to park by the hotels and take a buggy ride through Mid-Manhattan. You can pick a carriage up along 59th St in front of Central Park.

Some of the horse drawn buggies can be found lined up along Central Park near this statue.

Here's a little eye candy from our Thanksgiving carriage ride. Stay tuned for tomorrow night's turtle run so you can see some spanking Christmas lights. They are starting to go up all over New York City. Turns out we were too early for the decorating of the giant evergreen tree in the last shot. The kids were waiting patiently but it was getting cold. It went from 44 to 37 degrees and I had to protect my little people from freezing. I hope to take them back into New York County over the week-end, which is why I'm jogging tomorrow night to scope out some decorations. I want to plan a nice route to keep the little minions busy with lots of eye candy to enjoy. 

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. May God bless and each and every one of you and your families. Regards, C.

Hi C,

These pictures are great.  We have horse and buggy rides here too that tour our little city, not any skyscrapers or as many lights, just the serene lake, a quaint downtown district and the beautiful night sky.  Both beautiful in their charm, I think( I used to live in New York).

It's been awhile since I have made it to Manhattan, but loved to visit this time of year! The holiday window displays out of this world. I would love a carriage ride. Did you see Jekyll and Hyde? Even though I knew the story the Broadway show kept me on the edge of my seat the entire show.

Hi C - what a wonderful pictorial of your day!  I watched the Macy's Parade while I cooked.  I'm glad it's televised for those of us out of the area.  Most of our Parades are the weekend before.  I'm sure that's due to the tremendous size of the Parade in New York and the fact that we all want to watch that one on TV!

I hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend!

I have never been to New York.  I am not a big city kind of gal . .but if there are horses in New York, I sure wouldn't mind doing that.  I would like to NY someday!
