🎠"weird hyper masculine sculptures" β€” strikingly bizarre art
🏠"good option for cold or rainy days" β€” practically enclosed
πŸ’΅Cash only, so come prepared

Fifty-seven hand-carved horses from 1908 spin faster than you'd expect on this vintage Coney Island transplant, tucked among Central Park's trees. It's a little bit literary, a little bit weird, and exactly the kind of old-school joy that keeps kids and nostalgic adults grinning.
