New York City CityPass

I've never been on a New York City Excursion.

Right now, this may be one of the most unique ways to see the city and take in all the wonderful attractions at a fraction of the cost.

The New York CityPass offers a great way to get to see not-to-be-missed attractions. With the CityPass you get admission to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, including the new Greek and Roman galleries. You will gain entrance to the Museum of Modern Art as well as the Guggenheim Museum. You will also be able to visit the American Museum of Natural History.

In addition to these excellent museums, you can get a trip to the observatory atop the Empire State Building to see the breathtaking view of the city. Also included is a tour of the Manhattan skyline as seen from the water on a Circle Line Sightseeing Tour.

With your CityPass you also receive a map, transportation information, as well as insider tips to the best times to visit these attractions. This CityPass makes a great holiday gift, or a way to entertain out of town guests. Or maybe you are like locals in many towns who have never visited attractions in their own town. The CityPass is offered at a discounted rate saving over 50% off the price of buying each admission separately. The pass is good from December 15, 2007 through March 15, 2008.


Using the CityPass, I think I would have to overcome my fear of heights and make sure to go to the top of the Empire State Building for that view!

That I'd like to see.

Comme des Garçons, New York City

I've never been to Comme des Garçons, New York City .

This clothing boutique is located in west Chelsea amid art galleries and re-purposed warehouses. And you may easily miss this shop if you are not careful, as there is no sign pointing out the entrance. The entrance does suggest something out of the ordinary is here, with its futuristic look. Upon entering, you walk through an aluminum tunnel and then an egg shaped door. The walkway is lined with red lights, giving you the feel of a spaceship.

That I'd like to see.
