Taxi cost

Would it be possible to let me know how much and how long a taxi would cost travelling from Central Park to The River Cafe, Brooklyn?

Taxi cost

It%26#39;s not a flat rate so price and length of time depends on time of day, day of week. Central Park is a big place. If you mean the south end of the park (around 59th st.) I%26#39;d guess $15 +/- and 20-30 mins. but I could be off.

Taxi cost

Taxi fares in New York are based on the distance travelled and the length of time spent idling in traffic (both calculated acording to a set formula by the cab%26#39;s meter), along with certain surcharges based on time of day and day of week. As whiz noted, Central Park is large -- two and half miles long, and a half mile wide. Obviously, such a distance beween points just along the Park would have a significant effect on the fare. Without any more information, then, it is impossible to give you an answer.

It cost us about $50 from our hotel which was by Central Park to River Cafe, but that was using a car service from our hotel.

Otherwise, have a look at this site

Distance from south end of Central Park to the River Cafe is about 5 miles. A taxi will cost about $13 to $15, more if you get stuck in heavy traffic
