How to save more on Edge NYC

Tourist passes
Edge is on CityPASS and both Go City passes, so you can save on it whichever way you like to travel. CityPASS gives you 5 of 10 big sights for $149 over 9 days, claiming up to 51% off. Go City's day pass rewards cramming several sights into each day, while its Explorer, from $89, spreads a fixed number of picks over 30 days, and Go City quotes savings of up to 50% on both. Pair Edge with the Intrepid Museum on the west side if you go with CityPASS. Whichever pass you use, you still book a timed slot.
