The Brooklyn Papers For at least 1 day, Hey, big spender, how about making a pass at Brooklyn? A coalition of cultural groups this week unveiled its latest effort to draw tourists to Brooklyn’s museums and other at- tractions. DUMBO finds ‘Love’ The program takes the form of a “Brooklyn Pass,” a two- day “smart card” that offers free admission and discounts at 17 of the borough’s biggest draws. How good a bargain is the $25 card? It depends on how fast you can move. Where I Play The pass would pay for itself with just the free admission Where I Live to the New York Aquarium in Coney Island (regularly $12), the Brooklyn Museum (say goodbye to that suggested dona- Where I Work tion of $8) and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden ($5 admis- sion). But if you have the energy to visit all the attractions, you’ll save $45 in admission fees, without counting the free slice of cheesecake at Junior’s and ticket discounts at the Brooklyn Academy of Music and Bargemusic (for a full list PHOTO: LUCILLE FORNASIERI-GOLD, BEST PHOTOGRAPH, 2004 of participants, go to www.brooklynpass.com). Borough President Markowitz said the pass was designed to serve the needs of tourists.
