Sorry,, never went sleigh riding.  We did sometimes get a  flattened refridgerator sized box and slide down the  "D" subway stairs when it snowed and sometimes we'd slide down on the box even if their wasn't any snow.

The slope that surrounded the football field at Hunter--now Lehman--College.

The hill on Harding Avenue, between Tremont and Hollywood Avenue....we also had a community driveway  that was a hill, on our block that went down behind the garden aparmtents.....that was great, since we were a very small block.

The small hill behind Poe Cottage. Short ride but fast! All the kids in the neighborhood were there.  If it was a little icy, you would get too much speed and sometimes not be able to avoid huge garbage cans that the park had stored at the bottom of the hill. Ouch! One time I had so many bruises, my mom would not let me use my sled for a few days. I could not even sneak a ride on a friend's sled, because our living room windows faced that part of the park.

There were no sleighs in my neigborhood.  Many of us had sleds which we used on a nearby hill.
