New York City is high on the list of many people to visit, worldwide. There is a plethora of attractions. On the other hand, it can be pretty expensive when you start to visit those attractions. Twenty dollars here, thirty there. You could easily shell out hundreds of dollars per day. And that's per person. Throw in an average family and you may be pushing that thousand bill

I'm going to spell out a possible New York City visit (on any given day):

- Empire State Building - Cost: $20
- Madame Tusaudd's - Cost: $29
- Circle Line River Cruise - Cost: $31
- New York Skyride - Cost:$35
- Museum of Modern Art - Cost: $20
- Top of the Rock - Cost: $20
- Bodies - The Exhibition - Cost: $26.50

You could pick and choose other events if you wanted to but you'll come up with a figure about the same no matter how you look at it.

That over $180. By the way, that's per person. Granted kids will cost a bit less but you get the idea. The truth is, visiting New York City is an expensive proposition!

But it doesn't have to be that way if you pick up on a little known secret. It's like having an insider's edge on your visit to the big apple. This secret can save you hundreds, and if you are in the city for more than one day, than it could save you thousands. It's called The New York Pass.

The New York Pass is like having a key to the city. You pay only one price and then your admission to major attractions are included. And here's another great feature - in most of the attractions if there is a line (and there's always a long line), you get to do what is known as fast tracking. You just show your pass, they scan it and you bypass the lines.

Another feature that you get with your New York Pass is a 140 page guidebook. This includes hours of operation for the various attractions, detailed maps, tips and directions to every New York Pass attraction. It's available in English, German, and Spanish, too!

You want to know more? Well, in addition to all the benefits I've mentioned you also will get discounts when shopping at Macy's and Bloomingdale's. Those are the two big stores that most people will hit. If you are planning on hitting a Broadway show, you can get up to 25% off that with your New York Pass.

In short, you will save money when you buy a New York Pass. You could see every attraction on their list (and there are a lot) and it does not cost you any more than what you paid for with the pass. Multi-day passes save you even more money. Start saving today with your own New York Pass!
