New York City: A Winter Getaway

Carriage Rides
Reminiscent of a past age when carriages were the choice form of transportation along the busy streets of New York, a ride through the Park makes you feel as if you've suddenly been transported back into time. Horse-drawn carriages can be found lined up along Central Park South, at 59th St. between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, across from the Plaza Hotel.

Marvelous Midtown
The Sheraton New York Hotel & Towers is located between Central Park and Times Square in the center of Manhattan's Midtown business and entertainment district. Just steps from the excitement of Broadway theatres, prestige of Carnegie Hall and shopping of Fifth Avenue.
