Have you ever thought of calling a cab but decided the seats won’t be extravagant enough?
Well, this week fantasy fans across New York City have been able to trade in comfortable leather upholstery for a more glorious experience, with Uber taxi drivers letting them order the Iron Throne from Game of Thrones.
A lucky #GoT fan has usurped the Iron Throne. Now is your chance: http://t.co/A5S5KuwfoZ @Uber_NYC #RideOfThrones pic.twitter.com/Qj0JNuYWtI

You read that right. Normally reserved for the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms, standards appear to be slipping as they’re even allowing NYCFC fans to take a seat.
For six hours today and tomorrow, the throne will be transported around Manhattan for fans to pose for a photo.

There’s also the option of trading the throne in for a 30-minute pedicab ride for two, but who would want to do that. Come on guys, it’s a f**king throne.
It’s safe to say these guys agreed…
Got my #RideOfThrones on! Thanks @Uber_NYC and @HBO !! #housemancino #GoT pic.twitter.com/TA7xk1x316
