The Experience
There’s something about gliding through Central Park in a pedicab that just feels right—especially when you don’t have to worry about dodging cyclists or getting lost. We met our guide, JJ, right at the corner of 59th Street and 7th Avenue. It was a bit breezy that morning, so I was glad I’d grabbed my scarf. The city noise faded as soon as we rolled into the park. JJ had an iPad ready, showing us clips from movies filmed right where we were sitting—turns out, Bow Bridge looks even more familiar when you’ve seen it on the big screen.
We stopped for photos at Bethesda Fountain, where a street musician played something soft on his saxophone. JJ snapped a few shots for us on his iPhone Pro Max (honestly, they turned out way better than my own). At Strawberry Fields, there were fresh flowers on the “Imagine” mosaic—someone must’ve just left them. JJ shared stories about celebrities’ apartments peeking over the treetops and pointed out a spot where a scene from “Elf” was shot. I didn’t expect to laugh so much; he had plenty of wild real estate stories and even some local gossip that made the hour fly by.
