Attention New York-bound travelers!

There is an intriguing new offer I’ve just come across, which could be excellent for first time visitors to the Big Apple - A brand new way to see New York: New York Pass

The deal is this: you buy this New York Pass thing in advance, and you have up to a year to activate it. When you do, you get prepaid admission into nearly every major tourist attraction in the city. A one-day pass is $65 and for a two-day pass it’s $95, and $20 less for children. On the surface it may sound a bit pricey, but if you’ve not yet been to New York you should know that things there can be crazy expensive.

The highly-recommended 2-hour Circle Line Cruise is part of this, so that’s $25 right there, and the Empire State Building observation deck is as well, so there’s another $20 and you’ve only used 4 hours so far. I normally shy away from deals like this, but this one really sounds great. I’ve never lied to you before, have I? Okay, there was that one time, but this really does look like a great deal.

Part of the fun is you can skip ticket-buying lines in many of the places, so you can walk by them like a true VIP and make fun of the clothes being worn by those poor suckers who didn’t follow this advice. They’ll rue the day they read this and didn’t get the New York Pass, and also that they didn’t dress a bit better as well.
