I always stay at the Hilton New York. Expect room rates near $300/night. I hear the DoubleTree Times Square is great. All are within easy walking distance to Times Square and Central Park.

Places to see:

The Met. No need to really go anywhere else. It will take you a week to see this museum. ;-]

Sacks 5th Avenue

Restaurants (no concern for price):

Del Frisco's for steak. This is a power dinner but expect a large tab.
Cite Grill for all around service, food, atmosphere
Judson Grill (great seafood and service)
Aqua Grill (really, really good seafood and a little less expensive. Need to take a cab.)
Rue 57 (sea bass is to die for and prices are reasonable...for NYC)
Redeye Grill (GREAT seafood. Nice atmosphere.)

My 2 favorites are Redeye and Cite. You won't go wrong with any of them however.

If you go early, there's a prix-fixe menu for $34.95, which includes whopping big deserts. Not a bad price, and you can watch the FOX news ticker while you eat.
