As the city that never sleeps continues to evolve, a long-standing tradition may soon be coming to an end. A growing chorus of advocates is calling for a ban on horse carriage rides in New York City, citing concerns over animal welfare and public safety.

With a new mayor at the helm and a renewed focus on animal rights, could it be time to rein in this beloved but potentially outdated practice?
