Around what metro stop would they be? Also do you have to make reservations? how much does it run?

Horse-Drawn Carriage RidesOne of the most picturesque, and romantic, ways to visit Central Park is http://www.centralpark.com/pages//activities/carriage2.jpgJohn B. Moore (http://www.centralpark.com/pages/about-centralpark-com/staff/john-b-moore.html)Horse-Drawn Carriages in the Park.
riding inside one of the many colorful horse-drawn carriages that que up every day just across from the Plaza Hotel on Central Park South and 5th Ave. Popular all year round - either enjoying a soft summer breeze or all bundled up beneath the snug seat blankets to keep out the winter chill - the carriages provide a peak back to gaslight New York and it's easy to imagine Diamond Jim Brady sharing an after dinner ride with Lily Langtree.
Each carriage is brightly colored and usually feature fresh flowers along with a charming and knowledgeble driver providing an insightful commentary along the way.
Carriages can be found all year round lined up along Central Park South between 5th and 6th Avenues.
Estimated Cost (not including tip):
$34 for the first 1/2 hour and
$10 for each additional 1/4 hour.

I did this a few years ago - nice way to see the park, but if you have time, just walk it.
