Middle Class Folks have to get in long lines behind my constituents, Illegal Aliens, as they sign up for these cards so that they can get… what??
I wanna have this deal
Can people who live in Long Island get this as well?
What is IDNYC and why do i need it if I already have a NYC license?
Is this anything different than the cool culture? Will this cover other places that the cool culture won’t cover?
Why no Westchester!!!
“The membership term will be for one-year from the date the individual signs up with a participating cultural institution. ”
So you have to choose just one place for the free membership?
This is designed as an ID for people who don’t have (or can’t get) other ID’s, primarily illegal aliens. The cultural bonus is there to remove the stigma of having one of these cards. Since it’s a project of NYC, it’s only available to NYC residents.
Thank you for posting this! I live in manhattan and its great to get free admissions into all those amazing museums.
Anyone have any idea if I get this card will my kids get access to these places as well? I mean, which 14+ yr old is really going to the Childrens musuems w/o any kids?? Any info would be appreciated thanks
@I-dawg:
NYC residents pay separate NYC taxes..
Thanks, Dan! This is awesome!
How long is this offer available? Thanks
@dan. What about if live in@Booky: brooklyn is that included. Or only manhatten
this will not get your kids into the museum for free
NYC residents? Anyone can apply when visiting the area. 🙂
Stay away from NYC museums for the next year until the all the illegal immigrants are done visiting for free. De Blasio thanks for forcing the museums to raise fees next year for everyone! You’re the best mayor ever! Thanks for your starch support of the local police and thanks for standing up to Al Sharpton!
@Anonymous: Said the long time real American citizen who’s here for generations! or second generation to be exact.
@Anonymous: I’m sure there will be many illegal aliens at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, etc.
EVERYONE!
Dan’s deals is a site for him to give us places for us to save.
It is NOT a gripe site, political site, or complaint location. So PLEASE leave your political views to yourself and not here. I don’t care what you believe, I just care about the offers.
Thank you.
I don’t understand what this stinkin mayor is trying to do? Is he trying to help the illegal immigrants? Promoting that nyc is the best place for these illegals to live? De Blah-blah-blahio that’s who he is.
Just came from the midManhattan library, one of the sites to apply. They had 200 people when they opened, and not taking anyone today. Call 311 to *make an appointment*
How many adults/children can get in with membership is dependent on the individual museum; look it up.
Let’s try not show the world how racist Orthodox Jews are.
k thanks bye.
@brooklyn: Where have you been? Brooklyn has been part of New York City since 1898.
@Anonymous:
I can guarantee you that they won’t be at the MET any more than until now. First of all anyone legal or illegal could have visited it prior to having this card and pay $1 instead of the suggested donation if you are short on money. Same is true for the Museum of Natural History. The Bronx Zoo is free on Wednesdays. The illegal immigrants are not standing in line to get this ID in order to visit these places, but they do attend public schools, get free lunch and healthcare paid by your tax dollars. Their museum visits should be the least of your worries.
@Eli: What are you ripped? You’ve been listening to too much Public Radio. Just because someone is for enforcing current immigration law doesn’t make them a racist.
how do you sign up?
Is this id valid everywhere I need an id? Like does it help me apply for a passport, or get into places (outside of nyc) that ask for id at the door?
Main thing I’m interested is when will they get that moving signup booth rolling. I’m not gonna stand in that line.
Dan can u post an update when the sign up booth is in Jewish neighborhoods?
A lot of illegal aliens do file and pay taxes using ITINs.
Also, lots of those that use false papers have their taxes deducted from their paychecks. However, they frequently do not file a tax return and do not get a refund if they are entitled to one.
Will this get me into shul free for Yom Kippur?
why look like an illegal immigrant
@J720: not important
@AVROHOM: that was not important
this card also offers discounts at select groceries, restaurants, movie theaters. it’s also a library card. it’s also (obviously) a photo ID. you can use it to travel within the US, apply for passports, test for a permit. all you really need is proof of address as it’s only for Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn (i don’t think it’s for the Bronx or Staten Island).
There are no appointments available at the brooklyn public library until June 2015. I tried walking in and they said there were no more walk ins. This was on 01/18.
@I-dawg: that’s what i’m saying!!
can you use at airoport?
@bob:
Not so Educated as You all Racist People Should be, many Illegal Aliens Pay Taxes with a ITIN # the only difference between your taxes and theirs is that you get your money back, They Don’t So at the end Illegal Aliens are the ones paying for every Welfare/discount you Get! I Dare you to live a Day as an Illegal alien and Work Like One of them. 🙂
Tell me why westchester was left out!!
