I have stayed at the Lucerne Hotel on the upper West side a few times, and would stay again. Not cheap, but a nice hotel and worth it. Cheap can come with unexpected and unwanted bugs in a place like NY. I would check current reviews at Tripadvisor before booking.

I like to visit museums, so my recommendations may be different from that of some others. I wouldn't miss a trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Natural History. I would check out the Modern as well.

For NY, I would prefer a wide general purpose or ultrawide zoom, and a fast normal or wide prime. Two lenses would do it. I wouldn't drag along a long zoom, but that is just me.
