NYC is promoting it's new free ID card program w/ free admissions to museums
First year offer is one year free membership to all major museums in NYC. Awesome promotional idea- thanks DeBlasio!
"NYC is now officially home to the nation's largest municipal ID program, making it easier for New Yorkers without government-issued IDs to complete tasks the license-carrying among us tend to take for granted: Opening a bank account. Interacting with the police. Filling prescriptions.
“IDNYC is not only a card for all New Yorkers, it is the gateway to City services, the key to opening a bank account or getting a library card, and the ticket to many of our city’s finest cultural institutions," Mayor Bill de Blasio said in a statement. "More than that, this card represents who we are: New Yorkers who value equality, opportunity and diversity."

The administration is also figuring out how to reach homeless New Yorkers, since the lack of a fixed address will make them difficult to mail. Administration officials told the Times that while cards will generally be mailed, they can also be picked up in person."
