Overview:
NYC
has arguably the best public transportation system in the country. It's
often dirty, confusing, and gross, but it will get you virtually anywhere in the
city at almost any time of the day. You do not need a car.

Subway:
The NYC subway will get you almost anywhere in the city for $2.00. You'll
purchase a "Metrocard"
for individual rides or daily/ weekly/ monthly passes.
"Express" trains stop less frequently than "local"
trains. If you see a line with multiple names (ex. 4-5-6), it simply means
that three different trains are running on the same track. They'll
eventually split off.
A few places in Manhattan are a good mile from a subway stop. Avoid them
like the plague.

Note:
The subway is always under construction with
frequent detours. Pay particular attention to signs on
weekends. You may find yourself going downtown on an uptown track (And
isn't this true in life? Or something.)
Bus:
If the subway doesn't get you there, the bus will. Use it to cross
Central Park. It runs on the same fare system as the subway (Metrocard).
You even get free transfers as you connect from the subway to bus and
vice-versa.
