There is always something going on in New York, so it is difficult to say which time is the best. More tourists come during the summer season, just because in the winter, the snow can put a damper in your plans. There are also numerous flea markets where you can buy souvenirs and unusual items. If you can't stand the heat, then come during the late summer or early fall. Hostels are cheaper than most hotels or you can find hotels in New Jersey and take the bus to the city. You might have to book as early as 6 months before your trip if you plan to come during a holiday. As for the must see, there's the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, Ground Zero, Chinatown, among others.

I love going to NY around Christmas! I don't know about hotels as I live close enough to drive, but there are a lot of sales. The decorations and activity of NY at Christmas is terrific! If you are lucky enough to see the first snow it is amazing, taking a cab ride through Central Park is beautiful! There are so many tech stores in NY its difficult to list them!
