And if you actually did that you'd get the stare of death from the the ticket attendant - you don't take the pish like that in America. We gave about 20 dollars for the MET, $40 for the Natural History Museum

Some other stuff I'd recommend to anyone new to the city (got family from there):

Katz Deli or Carnegie Deli - for those piled high pastrami sandwiches New York is famous for

Museum of Sex - put simply a museum that explores the history of pornography and the way sex is portrayed. Very graphic. One of New York's hidden gems

Top of the Rock - this is the alternative to the Empire State Building, less touristy. Better views of the city in a lot of people's opinion

Brooklyn Bridge - very famous, you'll see loads of padlocks attached to the side left by lovers

The High Line - a former railroad that was turned into a park, beautiful in the summer

Central Park - where numerous films have been shot, including friends. Again, beautiful in the summer for a wander

Greenwich/Soho - this is the trendy part of New York City, go here for walk about to get a real feel of what the city is all about. Have a drink, take some photos/selfies. There's plenty to see and do here

5th Avenue - posh shopping district, nice for a bit of window shopping

The Intrepid - former aircraft carrier and collection of war ships, must see for any war/history enthusiast

Enjoy

Mostly they don't care. Besides, they get a free lease of very valuable land in Manhattan, and a lot of private funding anyway. How much would you pay for the walker gallery in Liverpool?

I'm not saying you SHOULD pay $1, but there is a common misconception that you have to pay the full (or close to) recommended $25 per person.
