Nonstop NYC fun with Broadway, Restaurant and Attractions Weeks

While a good chunk of NYC’s greatest attractions can be free—think Central Park, the High Line and free-admission days at the MoMA—some popular spots will charge you. Big time. With NYCgo’s NYC Attractions Week discount, you don’t have to cut any corners. Snag two-for-one admission tickets to some of the best museums, gardens and lookouts, and you’ll still have plenty of dough left to treat yourself to a fancy meal at one of the city’s most famous restaurants. NYC Attractions Week runs from Jan 17 through Feb 5.

If you love rock & roll, this is the exhibition to see. Discover how the Rolling Stones lived their lives before they were famous and peep at a bunch of their rock-history artifacts ranging from instruments, costumes, handwritten lyrics and other memorabilia. As part of NYC Attractions Week, you’ll be treated like a rock star with a VIP ticket, which includes one entry to the exhibit on two separate days, one VIP souvenir ticket and lanyard as well as a fast-track ticket.

We know what you’re thinking—why should you go to one of New York’s most lush gardens during winter? Trust us, once you take a tour through the New York Botanical Garden’s beautiful, Victorian-glass conservatory, you’ll totally forget you’re on the east coast. Take a stroll through this indoor retreat, and you’ll feel as if you’re visiting a rainforest or desert with the endless display of palms, cacti and succulents. Since the NYC Attractions Week deal includes a two-for-one All-Garden Pass admission (normally $20), you and a friend can enjoy this peaceful oasis for only half the cost when you split the ticket price. And the fact that the garden is less crowded during the colder months is just an extra incentive! That’s an NYC hack, people.

Let’s face it: Taking a tour through Madam Tussauds might be the closest you’ll ever get to your favorite celebrities, and that alone makes the attraction worth braving Times Square. C’mon, what could be more enjoyable than taking selfies with the wax-figure version of Beyoncé? (Okay, maybe seeing Queen Bey in the flesh.) And since these very life-like celebrities and movie characters aren’t actually human, you don’t have to feel guilty about taking a bazillion photos with them! Get your hands on a two-for-one “Celebrity” admission ticket and have fun pretending you’re doing the mannequin challenge on the red carpet.

Craving fried chicken? (Answer: Always.) Head to the East Village to experience chef Jeff McInnis and Janine Booth’s cozy restaurant serving finger-lickin’ southern grub like buttermilk biscuits that melt in your mouth. While Root & Bone is known for its brunch, the best time to go is during NYC Restaurant Week for lunch or dinner. Why? Because a three-course meal ranges from $29 to $42—and that deal is just way too good to pass.

Pasta: That’s what for dinner, and you’ll receive massive plates and bowls of it at Bar Primi, a hip Italian eatery with a hefty Italian wine list to match. This spot has it all: linguine, cavatelli, ravioli—you name it. And since you’re promised a three-course meal for $29 or $42, you can forget the bill and focus your concerns on which style of pasta you wish to devour.

This classy foodie haven draws the masses with its chic, rustic decor and swanky, Top Chef-style plating, but the food itself is the main star. The menu runs the gamut from crowd-favorite entrees such as salmon, burgers and pizza to drool-worthy market-table picks like crab toast with lemon aioli and house-made ricotta with fig compote and grilled bread. This restaurant is a bit pricey, so you’re really getting the most bang for your buck with NYCgo’s NYC Restaurant Week discount.
