There are parking garages on seemingly every block in NYC. It will cost ~$50 for overnight parking. I stayed at the Hilton on Ave of the America's a couple weeks ago - cost $42 to park overnight for a guest.
You DO NOT need a car in NYC. Walk, taxi or subway is the best way to get around. I'd suggest parking somewhere around Times Square - it's fairly central to everything.
Taxi rides aren't that expensive. The subway is very safe.
The guy who suggested parking in Virginia stole my line - I was going to say New Jersey.

There is usually inexpensive parking as you park closer to the river (Hudson and East). Prices will pick up as you park closer to the tourist/Broadway/5th Avenue areas. I have no problems parking near the river areas, however you should note the area (are there many tourists or pedestrians). The less pedestrians, the more vigilant you should be when going back or take a taxi back to the garage.
Also, street parking is another alternative. However, read the meters and signs.

Well, how long are you going to be staying in NYC? I'd say, definitely try to check out a Broadway show, go to Times Square, check out Rockefeller Center, walk through Central Park and visit the zoo, and definitely check out the American Museum of Natural History -- it's amazing! If you're into art, try to take a trip to the Met too, if you can fit it into your schedule. The trip to the top of the Empire State Building is, in my opinion, something you can skip. I did it once when I was about 14 and it wasn't anything thrilling. Don't waste your time. It's best viewed from the ground. Skip the Wall Street Insider Tour, too. Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty are both pretty amazing, so try to fit them into your schedule if you can. You'll probably need to set aside a whole day to visit these places, but it will be worth it. Other than that, just walk around and explore things on your own, and try to enjoy yourself! If you can, just take a few days to wander through SoHo and the East Village (St. Mark's Place). Don't try to pack too much into your schedule!

I do not know many places to park in, but I do know of double-deck tour busses going through the city. They make the experience better because you can see the city on top of a bus in a seat while listening to a tour guide. It is a much better experience than walking through the city, as I noticed it can be very hectic and bad areas come out of nowhere. Times Square is breathtaking to see though

New Jersey (no joke). Park across the street from the Pavonia-Newport PATH train station...$1.50 and 15-20 minutes will get you into either downtown or midtown Manhattan.
