The NYC Pass gave us great savings. We weren't able to use all of the passes, but it was still worthwhile. I would definitely recommend it for first time visitors since you'll likely want to visit the attractions in the pass.
Would buy it again and do the things I didn't do on this trip
We read all the reviews about this pass and decided to purchase through Viator as we had already booked several transfers with the company. The City Pass may be value for money but do not believe the claims that you will beat the queues, you won't. You are given a book of VOUCHERS all of which have to be exchanged for actual tickets at each attraction, meaning you have to que in the general admission lines to exchange your VOUCHER for a ticket. I would probably not bother purchasing this ticket again, and would suggest thinking long before purchasing these VOUCHERS.
