Where will you be spending your time? If you're just looking for a quick one to find to cross New York off of your list, I can probably point you to one that will be close to your hotel / etc.

If you have your own vehicle, would suggest Pelham Bay Park.

Do a pocket query off the cache above. Use same type. You are coming in from out of town and to ease you into the City , I would suggest the virtual caches of NYC. I recently did a grouping of virtual caches in Washington DC and found that it is an easy way to learn the lay of the land so to speak. NYC caches can be difficult due to the muggle factor and the small log only type of cache. Both of those impediments are eliminated with the virtual.

 

I do enjoy NYC for caching, but most of the time I have gone on bicycle.

as addisonbr said, it depends on where you will be. If you can get to central park, there are several nice "real" caches as well as a bunch of virtuals. You can't do much better than

Define New York...Manhattan? (You don't want a vehicle) Uptown, Downtown? Visiting any particular tourist points?

Im not sure what location we are getting dropped off at . All I know as of now that it is a day trip that my family and I are taking . The bus will be dropping us off early in the morning and picking us up in the late evening .

And now for something completely different:

If you don't have a smart phone app, you might want to consider it. If your bus stops at interstate rest stops, there will almost certainly be a cache there, and it will be an opportunity to pick up another state or two. Also, it will be handy to check out random spots while your wife is shopping.

(Geomate Jr. is another way to do this)
