A late-morning sun slips between Manhattan’s apartment blocks and the long green of Central Park unfurls below — wide drives, open lawns and groves that change angle with the light. A pedicab guide eases onto the carriage drive, music soft in the speakers, and the city’s pulse shifts to the park’s slower tempo: children chasing pigeons, joggers cutting through the trees, photographers framing Bow Bridge.
