The cowboys casually moseyed down the middle of the street as construction continued all around them. A family walking down the street stopped and stared at the majestic beasts and mysterious riders.

The riders were traveling within an Open Street section on West End Avenue, where cars are not allowed, but they were heading towards a much busier area on Broadway.
