I have a friend who lives in New York City. I mean, right in the city! I'm always jealous when I talk to her because she's mentioning "The Met", or The Museum of Natural History like it's just your every-day landmark. I mean, let's face it; Florida may have some beautiful beaches, but it isn't so hot when it comes to culture!

My friend is a mom of three so I know that doing all of the 'touristy' stuff in the city can be expensive! I want to do something nice and family oriented for her for the holidays, and I think I found just the thing: A New York CityPass!

Confused yet? The New York CityPass is this great booklet that includes a ticket to The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the new Greek and Roman galleries (which I know she hasn't seen yet), Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), Guggenheim Museum and the American Museum of Natural History. They even include a trip to the top of the Empire State Building Observatory and tour of the Manhattan skyline from the water aboard a Circle Line Sightseeing Cruise which I know her kids would enjoy! The booklet has a map, some public transportation information and insider tips on the best time to visit each attraction which is great, but I don't think she's going to need that information, LOL!

It's low-cost too: $65 for adults and $49 for children aged 12-17. That's 50% off the combined admission price! At those prices I may be able to buy some for her whole family!
