The Budweiser Clydesdales, who debuted on Dec. 5, 1933, to celebrate Prohibition’s end, were on Bleecker St. this Dec. 5 to mark the occasion’s 84th anniversary. Obviously, though, not the same horses! But the rig had its wooden cases of “Bud,” its uniformed drivers and a Dalmatian mascot, as usual. The Clydesdales and Budweiser wagon make appearances around the country. Photo by Tequila Minsky
