I would buy the New York One Pass which you can buy there or before you go. It lets you go on most of the popular attractions without paying and you choose how many days you want it for. It works out a lot cheaper than paying at the attraction.... and you can use again at the same place as long as its not the same day!

Don't forget the tour buses that do south and north circle trips that you can hop on and off. They have a great guides giving excellent commentaries. We also enjoyed the river cruise.

New York's a great place and in a weekend you're going to have to be pretty selective about what you want to see. I'd suggest buying a good Guide Book and choosing what you're going to do in advance. If you want restaurant recommendations Zagat Surveys are widely regarded as the 'bibles' and can be bought in the UK before you go (I know Waterstones have them). The very best New York eateries require reservations weeks and sometimes months in advance.

You also need to bear in mind that New York in February can be VERY cold and it goes dark early in the evening so think about making sure you visit the places that are best seen in daylight early in the day.

Cheapest is by Subway or train but if you're not familiar with New York I wouldn't recommend either. For 2 or more people a prebooked limo will cost pretty much the same as a cab or the various Van services and be more comfortable and convenient. For a few dollars more they'll meet you at baggage claim. You can also arrange for them to collect you from your hotel for the return. Allow plenty of time for an evening trip to JFK in February.

I use Carmel Cars. I don't think I can post the link but a quick Google search will find it. If you do have a look at the site, make sure you click on their '$$$ Saving' icon which will direct you to discount coupons.
