More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A pedicab eases through the break in traffic, tires whispering on asphalt as the city recedes and Central Park’s canopy opens. You feel the pace slow: first the stone steps of Bethesda Terrace, then the graceful arc of Bow Bridge, cherry trees shading The Mall, and the quiet ache of Strawberry Fields. The guide points out sculpted details and tells quick, sharp stories — a mix of architecture, celebrity myth, and municipal policy — while the pedicab keeps you moving without the work of walking miles.
