A late-morning pedicab slides through Central Park with a soft whoosh of spokes and the city’s noise thinning to a distant hum. Your guide points to Bethesda Fountain, where water spills down in steady confidence and street musicians shape the air. The pedicab eases past manicured lawns, crosses a stone bridge that remembers movie cameras, and slows before the “Imagine” mosaic where visitors leave tiny, bright offerings.
