Ya de por sí New York es una ciudad cara (aunque creo que no tanto como Buenos Aires) y cuando se está de viaje desembolsar 25 dólares per cápita para la entrada a un museo, y más si es una flia numerosa, es doloroso.

Muchos no lo saben pero una gran cantidad de atracciones son gratis o tienen la modalidad de «pay what you wish» (pagá lo que quieras),  o una vez por semana en un determinado horario lo son. Lamentablemente el MET dejará el Pay what you wish a partir del 1 de marzo del 2018.
