Make sure you visit NYC and Company and pick up a couple of City Passes. Not only will you save 40 percent off regular combined admission prices while visiting some of the city’s most important sites, including the Guggenheim, The Empire State Building (City Pass tip: return to the top of the Empire State with your City Pass AT NIGHT to enjoy the twinkling light of Manhattan) and the 9/11 Memorial, but you will also get to jump the line and take the VIP route. How great is that?
