www.newyorkpass.com<BR><BR>Sounds like a good deal. What do you think?

Sounds good to me too! I called the New York Pass office and they said they will be offering a discount through AAA. But, I cant't find the New York Pass on AAA's web site!

This is a new product from the people who originally developed the LondonPass. There has been a great deal of debate about the London Pass's value, over on the Europe boards. But that's primarily because, unlike New York, in London most of the museums are free.<BR><BR>The best thing to do is to figure out how many of their benefits you'd actually use, and then cost it out. $39 for a one-day pass is a LOT of money, though at $93 the 7-day pass looks a bit more reasonable. Just look at their list of benefits and think about how many museums, shopping discounts, etc. you'd actually use in one day. <BR><BR>As for the free transport pass feature -- a one-day unlimited bus pass costs just $4 anyway, and a one-week pass, $17.<BR><BR>P.S. Their promotion of the NBC Studios tour features a photo of Jay Leno, whose show originates in Burbank, CA. Hmmmm. . .

Toppingfor Carla. Though Jen was wrong -- $93 is for the 3-day pass. You really have to figure out what YOU will do, to know whether it's &quot;worth it.&quot;

This might be better value for some:<BR><BR>The New York City Pass ($38) http://www.citypass.net/ny/index.html<BR>gives entry to these:<BR><BR>• American Museum of<BR> Natural History<BR>• Guggenheim Museum<BR>• Intrepid Sea Air Space<BR> Museum<BR>• The Museum of Modern Art<BR>• Empire State Building<BR> Observatory<BR>• Circle Line Harbor Cruise <BR>• Whitney Museum of<BR> American Art<BR><BR>and is valid for nine days from first use. Nb it doesn't include metro cards but these are only $4/day.
