Transportation:
We do not recommend driving to get around in NYC. Uber is an option, as is the really good, Subway system. Visit http://www.mta.info Click on Trip Planner and you can enter your location and destination. It will give you directions / options on the subway system.
Fare is $2.75/ride. Metro card vending machines are available at each train station. Each person can load $20 on each card and that should suffice for the duration of the stay. Or you can load more as needed.
