A couple of weeks ago, I contacted CityPass asking if they would be kind enough to sponsor a couple of CityPasses to New York that I could give away to readers of this blog. I was pleasantly surprised that they replied and told me that they would love to do that. So, here it is … chowtimes’s first contest.
THE PRIZE
CityPass had agreed to sponsor TWO CityPasses to New York. These CityPasses is their Winter Special where it is valid until Marh 15th (their normal CityPasses is only valid for 9 days from first use). You may find out more from the link to their Winter Special here.
This CityPass will make a great gift and would especially useful for people who live in or around New York City. Imagine … you don’t have to rush from one attraction to another … just take your own sweet time to properly explore the museums and other sights all through Winter to Spring.
HOW TO WIN THE PRIZE
It is simple. You just need to answer correctly 5 questions posted below. You answer by clicking on the comment link at the bottom of this entry and submit your answers. The first entry with the most correct answer will win the tickets. I will announce the winning entry on December 30th which means a two day period for you to participate.
Oh yeah, you need to leave your email address when you submit your entry so that I know how to contact you. For the winner, I will forward your email address to CityPass who will then contact you to deliver the CityPass.

Hi Ben,
Now that you have been to NY twice, did you find it hard to get around? I’m considering renting a car as it would take me $100 for taxi back and forth from where I am staying in Brooklyn, and just $200 to rent a car instead.
Hi Jacqueline:
Can you not take the subway from where you’re staying in Brooklyn? Frankly, I would NOT consider driving in NYC because of all the traffic and people. Also, parking will be difficult and expensive I would imagine. We got around using public transit all the time. I am pretty sure you will be able to find inexpensive public transports from almost anywhere into Manhattan. After all, Manhattan is the center of the universe.
Ben
