Have to agree with just about everything Malcolm said. We had a couple of days in a hotel just south of Times Square, and almost a week not far from where John Lennon was shot.
We did Top of the Rock (Rockefeller Plaza) instead of Empire State and the queues were much shorter.
Walk through Central Park and see the Ghostbusters buildings across the lakes. Take a guided tour to get the hang of it and come back later. Museums and art galleries are everywhere around the park.
Times Square is wall to wall advertising, but an absolute scream. We took one look at the quick ticket queue and said "no". Walked around the corner to the theatre, chose a time that suited us, paid full price and saw "The Addams Family" with Brooke Shields playing Morticia.
If you want to go to B&H, Malcolm is dead right. Read their opening times extremely carefully. They were closed the whole time we were in NY - on both occasions.
