New York is a pricey place. That’s a given. But if you know where to look, and where to book, you can save significantly.
CityPASS is selling admission to a half-dozen of the city’s top attractions for 46 percent off, for $89. See the sites, adore the art and be amazed at the magic only the Big Apple bequeaths.
CityPASS gives you admission to the Empire State Building Observatory, the American Museum of Natural History, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art, Top of the Rock or the Guggenheim Museum and either the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, or a Circle Line Cruise. Do these things, see the city this way and the magic is manifest.
The American Museum of Natural History is a deep dive into life and cultures of Planet Earth – as well as an extraordinary probe into the reaches of space. The discounted price of admission includes the stellar Hayden Planetarium Space Show.
King Kong does not live there anymore, but the most scintillating views of New York still do. See the city, the rivers, Central Park and – if the weather is right – as many as five states from the Empire State Building Observatory.
MoMa rocks. The Museum of Modern Art defines the avant – no matter what the age. See van Gogh’s The Starry Night and Monet’s Water Lilies. Revel in the works of modern masters.
Another great view, this time amidst unmistakably art deco surroundings. That’s what awaits you from the Top of the Rock Observation Deck at Rockefeller Center.
Explore the museum that’s a work of modern art unto itself, the Guggenheim. The art it houses is sublime. See works by Chagall, Picasso and van Gogh.
Sandy couldn’t sour the countenance of Lady Liberty. The iconic Statue of Liberty still welcomes the world to this great city. Embrace her, and see nearby Ellis Island where so many came to make a new life.
Say so long to the city with a two-hour cruise. Experience the place the way so many first did – jaws agape from the prow of a ship. The Circle Line provides the vessel and the commentary.
