New York Pass: what it is and how it works
The New York Pass is a tourist card, similar to a credit card with a chip, with which you can visit more than 100 tourist attractions in New York and save a few dollars depending on how many attractions you visit. The more you visit, the more you'll save. If you are not a museum lover, I advise you to take numbers.
The New York Pass is available for 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 or 10 (consecutive) days. The pass can only be used once per attraction.
