The Chicest Rickshaws in Manhattan


Guests of Manhattan’s 118-room The Mark can now avail themselves of a stylish pedicab service, the first to be offered by a New York hotel. The black-and-white-striped cycle-rickshaws whisk passengers from the hotel’s Upper East Side address to such nearby attractions as the Guggenheim Museum, Bergdorf Goodman, or Central Park, with the first 30 minutes free of charge. Hungry for more? Request a seasonal picnic basket from chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s on-site restaurant, whose gourmet goodies are guaranteed to put a different spin on your afternoon.
